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 in Chilworth File Dormant Company Accounts?

A company may be considered dormant for Companies House purposes if it has no significant accounting transactions during the reporting period. This can include companies that have not yet started trading, have stopped trading, or are held for future use. However, dormancy is not simply the absence of sales or activity – it depends on the specific statutory rules and your company’s circumstances. Even if a company is dormant, it may still need to file annual accounts and submit confirmation statements. Dormant status for Companies House is also separate from HMRC’s Corporation Tax treatment, so you should always check both sets of obligations before assuming nothing needs to be filed.

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.

Dormant Company Accounts FAQs

Still unsure where you stand? Reach out to our UK team at info@microentityaccounts.co.uk and we will review your filing history with you.

What are dormant company accounts?

Dormant company accounts are the annual accounts prepared for a company that qualifies as dormant under the Companies Act. They are filed with Companies House to meet the company's statutory filing requirement. Despite the company being inactive, these accounts must still be prepared in the correct format and submitted by the applicable deadline.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, in most cases a dormant company must still file annual accounts with Companies House, even if it has no trading activity. There are some exemptions, but they depend on the company's specific circumstances. Filing dormant accounts is how the company meets its legal obligation to report its financial position for the accounting period.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may also qualify as micro-entities, allowing them to use the micro-entity reporting framework. However, dormancy and micro-entity status are separate matters. Eligibility criteria must be reviewed before deciding which accounting framework applies. We can help you determine the most appropriate approach for your company.

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

Companies House and HMRC have different definitions and requirements. A company may be dormant for Companies House if it has no significant accounting transactions, while HMRC dormancy relates to Corporation Tax. A company that is dormant for Companies House purposes may still need to deal with Corporation Tax unless HMRC has confirmed that it is dormant for tax purposes. It is important to address both separately.

Does a dormant company still need a confirmation statement?

Yes, a confirmation statement is a separate filing sent to Companies House. Dormant companies generally still need to submit a confirmation statement at least once every 12 months to keep their registered details up to date. Filing dormant company accounts does not replace the confirmation statement requirement.

Does a dormant company need to submit a Corporation Tax Return?

It depends on the company's Corporation Tax position. If HMRC has been notified that the company is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes and has accepted that no further returns are needed, then a CT600 may not be required. Otherwise, a Corporation Tax Return may still be necessary. We can review your circumstances and advise on the correct course of action.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

Late filing of dormant company accounts can result in Companies House late-filing penalties, even if the company is dormant. The penalty amount depends on how late the accounts are submitted. Filing dormant status does not automatically protect a company from these penalties, and any outstanding accounts should be filed as soon as possible to limit further consequences.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

Generally, we need details about the company's registered office, directors, shareholders and the reporting period. For a truly dormant company, there should be no significant transactions, but we may need to confirm whether any prior activity affects the accounts. We can guide you on exactly what to provide.
