He helped me sort out a very complicated backlog of accounts and prepared my overdue tax returns with professionalism and attention to detail. Throughout the process, he was incredibly patient, took the time to answer all of my questions, and explained everything clearly. He guided me through each step and helped rectify issues that had built up over time, making what felt like an overwhelming situation much more manageable. I'm very pleased with the service I've received and truly appreciate his support. If you need help with your accounts or taxes, I would highly recommend Imran.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We worked with a few different accountants before finally settling with Accotax, and we’re really glad we did. Their team is great. Abdul is responsive and easy to reach whenever I have a question, which makes a big difference. They take the time to understand how our business works and what our needs are. They are very knowledgeable, and when they don’t have the answer straight away, they take the time to look into it and get back to us quickly. Anum, who looks after our account on a day-to-day basis, including reconciling invoices and preparing the annual accounts, is amazing. She is professional, efficient, and follows the processes we have put in place together. She's also very quickin getting back to us whenever needed. We’re very happy to work with her and hope to continue doing so for as long as possible. Overall, Accotax has made our accounting experience much smoother and easier. We see them as a long-term partner as our business continues to grow. I would 100% recommend them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have really impressed to date with all dealings with Accotax highly enough. From day one, they've made what can often be a complicated and stressful part of running a business feel straightforward and hassle-free. A special mention has to go to Anum, who has been friendly, incredibly responsive, and genuinely cares about providing the best possible service. No question is ever too much trouble, and she consistently goes above and beyond to make sure everything is dealt with efficiently. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for an accountant they can genuinely trust.

When Can a Company Prepare Dormant Company Accounts in Chadwell Heath?

A company is generally considered dormant for Companies House purposes if it has no significant accounting transactions during the accounting period. That means no income, expenditure, or other transactions that would normally be recorded in the accounts. Companies that have not yet started trading, have stopped trading, or are being retained for future use can sometimes qualify. However, dormancy is not automatic – it depends on the company’s particular circumstances and the relevant accounting rules. In many cases, a dormant company still needs to file annual accounts with Companies House (unless an exemption applies) and it also needs to keep its confirmation statement up to date. Being dormant for Companies House purposes is also different from being dormant for HMRC Corporation Tax purposes. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically tell HMRC that the company is dormant for tax. We can help you understand which obligations apply to your company.

A Company May Be Dormant If:

It has been incorporated but has not started trading.

Trading has stopped and the company has no relevant ongoing activity.

Its only transactions are those that Companies House disregards when determining dormancy.

It is being retained for a future business purpose, subject to its actual activities and transactions.

What are dormant company accounts?

Dormant company accounts are the annual accounts prepared for a company that is dormant for Companies House purposes. They are filed with Companies House where required and are typically simpler than full accounts, but they still need to meet the applicable legal requirements. A dormant company must also prepare its accounts in accordance with the Companies Act and the relevant accounting framework.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, in most cases. A company that is dormant for Companies House purposes is generally still required to file annual accounts, unless a specific exemption applies. The accounts must be filed by the company’s statutory deadline. Dormancy does not remove the obligation to file accounts, and late filing can result in penalties.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies will also qualify as micro-entities and may be able to use the micro-entity reporting framework, but that is not automatic. Eligibility depends on the company’s size, turnover, and balance sheet total, as well as its legal structure. If a dormant company qualifies, the accounts can be prepared under the micro-entity framework. We can review your circumstances to determine which framework applies.

What is the difference between being dormant for Companies House and dormant for HMRC?

Being dormant for Companies House means the company has had no significant accounting transactions for the purposes of the Companies Act. Being dormant for HMRC is a separate Corporation Tax status. A company that is dormant for HMRC may be able to notify HMRC and may not need to file further Corporation Tax Returns, but only once HMRC has confirmed that a return is no longer required. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically change the company’s HMRC position.

Does a dormant company still need to submit a confirmation statement?

Yes, generally. A confirmation statement is a separate filing from annual accounts and is required by Companies House every 12 months. It confirms that the company’s registered office, directors, shareholders and other details are correct. A dormant company is still required to keep this information up to date and file a confirmation statement when it is due.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If a dormant company fails to file its required accounts by the statutory deadline, Companies House can issue late filing penalties. Each late filing is assessed on its own facts, and the amount of the penalty can vary. Paying a penalty does not remove the need to file the outstanding accounts. If you have missed a deadline, we can help you review your position and file the overdue accounts as soon as possible.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

To prepare dormant company accounts, we generally need to confirm that the company had no significant accounting transactions during the period, and we may need to see records of any transactions that did occur. Basic company details, such as the registered office address, company number and directors, are used to complete the accounts. If the company is filing its confirmation statement at the same time, we will also confirm that the registered information is up to date.
