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 File Dormant Accounts?

A company is generally considered dormant for Companies House purposes if it has had no significant accounting transactions during the relevant accounting period. Significant transactions typically exclude items such as the filing of accounts, the payment of filing fees or penalties, or an all-member written resolution. However, dormancy is not simply about having no sales or no current trading activity. A company that is dormant for Companies House purposes may have separate obligations to HMRC, and it may still need to file annual accounts and a confirmation statement. Being dormant does not mean a company is dissolved or exempt from all filing requirements. Eligibility depends on the company’s particular circumstances and the applicable accounting rules. We can help you establish whether dormant company accounts are appropriate for your company in Clitheroe.

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 annual accounts prepared for a company that is dormant for accounting purposes. For Companies House, a company is usually dormant if it has no significant accounting transactions during the period. Dormant accounts are not 'no accounts' — they are a specific statutory filing that must meet the applicable requirements. A dormant company generally still needs to file these accounts with Companies House unless a specific exemption applies.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, generally a dormant company still needs to file annual accounts with Companies House. Dormant status does not remove the requirement to file accounts. The type and form of accounts depend on the company's size and eligibility, and some qualifying dormant companies may have simpler requirements. Unless a specific exemption applies, annual accounts must still be prepared and filed by the company's deadline.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies are also micro-entities and can use the micro-entity accounts framework, but dormancy and micro-entity status are separate concepts. To use the framework, the company must meet the micro-entity eligibility criteria under the Companies Act, including size. Not every dormant company will qualify. We can review your company's circumstances to determine the correct reporting framework and prepare the required accounts.

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

Being dormant for Companies House is about having no significant accounting transactions for the period, while being dormant for Corporation Tax is a separate HMRC status. A company might be dormant for Companies House but still have Corporation Tax obligations unless HMRC has agreed that it is inactive. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically notify HMRC. You generally need to inform HMRC separately and confirm whether Corporation Tax Returns are still needed.

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

Yes, a confirmation statement is separate from dormant company accounts. A dormant company remains on the Companies House register and must keep its information up to date. In most cases you will need to file a confirmation statement at least once a year to confirm that the registered details are correct. Filing dormant accounts does not satisfy this requirement.

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

It depends on HMRC's rules and the company's Corporation Tax position. If HMRC has agreed that the company is dormant for Corporation Tax and has written to confirm that no further returns are required, the company may not need to file additional CT600 returns, subject to any future changes. If HMRC has not confirmed this, a Corporation Tax Return may still be due, even if the company is dormant for Companies House purposes. We can assist with the necessary communication with HMRC.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If a dormant company fails to file its annual accounts by the Companies House deadline, it may receive a late-filing penalty. Companies House sets the penalty based on how late the accounts are, and dormancy does not automatically protect a company from these penalties. The overdue accounts still need to be filed even after a penalty is issued. In some circumstances a penalty appeal may be possible, but whether it s쳮ds depends on the facts and the applicable Companies House rules.
