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 Company Accounts?

A company is generally considered dormant for Companies House purposes if it has no significant accounting transactions during the financial year. For example, a newly incorporated company that has not yet started trading, or a company that has stopped trading, may qualify as dormant if it also meets the relevant conditions. However, dormancy is not automatic simply because a company has no sales or no current activity; it depends on the specific rules and circumstances. Being dormant for Companies House purposes does not mean the company is automatically exempt from filing annual accounts – most dormant companies must still file the required accounts and submit a confirmation statement. It is also important to distinguish between dormancy for Companies House and dormancy for Corporation Tax with HMRC. We can assess your situation and help you prepare the correct documents.

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

What are dormant company accounts?

Dormant company accounts are annual accounts prepared and filed with Companies House for a company that has no significant accounting transactions during the period. They confirm the company was dormant from an accounting perspective and satisfy the statutory requirement to deliver accounts for that year. Dormant accounts are simpler than a full set of accounts, but they still need to meet Companies House rules. Preparation must be handled carefully to ensure the filings are correct.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts with Companies House?

Yes, in most cases. A dormant company is not automatically exempt from filing annual accounts. Unless a specific exemption applies, the company must still deliver the required accounts to Companies House each year, even if there has been no trading activity. Filing dormant accounts is separate from submitting a confirmation statement and from any Corporation Tax reporting that HMRC may require.

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

Dormant for Companies House means the company has no significant accounting transactions for the year. Dormant for HMRC – for Corporation Tax purposes – is about whether the company has any Corporation Tax liability and whether it needs to file Corporation Tax Returns. The two definitions are not identical, and HMRC must be notified separately if you believe the company is dormant for Corporation Tax. A company can be dormant for Companies House but still need to interact with HMRC, so it is important to consider both sets of obligations.

Does a dormant company need to submit a confirmation statement?

Yes, unless an exemption applies for a specific reason. The confirmation statement is a separate annual requirement to confirm that the company’s registered office, directors, shareholders and other register details are correct. Filing dormant accounts does not replace the confirmation statement. We can help you manage both filings for your Colcheste company.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

To prepare dormant company accounts, we typically need your company’s registration number and the period being covered, along with confirmation that there have been no significant accounting transactions. In many cases, we may also need details of prior-year balances or any assets such as shares issued. We will review your records and guide you on what is required. If documents need your approval before submission, we will explain that process.

Can you help if dormant company accounts are filed late or missed?

Yes. If your company has missed a filing deadline, it is still important to file the outstanding accounts as soon as possible to bring the register up to date. Late filing penalties may apply, and the company should address any defaults. We can help prepare and file overdue dormant accounts with Companies House. Where circumstances justify it, we can also review whether a penalty appeal might be appropriate, but every case depends on its own facts and Companies House rules.
