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.

Special thanks to Muhammad Saifullah for his assistance.

 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.

What Our Dormant Company Accounts Service Covers

Everything a non-trading limited company needs to stay compliant for the year, handled end to end by qualified UK accountants.

Dormant Company Accounts

We prepare the appropriate dormant company accounts for filing with Companies House, based on your company's circumstances and filing requirements.

Companies House Filing

We submit your dormant accounts electronically and send you written confirmation once they are accepted.

HMRC Corporation Tax Dormancy Support

We notify HMRC that your company is dormant for Corporation Tax, or file a nil CT600 where one has been requested.

Confirmation Statement Support

Optional preparation and filing of your annual confirmation statement so your record stays fully up to date.

Deadline Monitoring

We track your accounting reference date and remind you well before the filing deadline each year.

Accountant Review

A qualified accountant checks that your company genuinely qualifies as dormant before anything is submitted.

When Can Your Company File Dormant Accounts in Colne?

A company can usually be treated as dormant for Companies House purposes if it has no significant accounting transactions during the relevant period. This can include companies that have not yet started trading, have stopped trading, or are holding companies with no income or expenditure. However, being dormant does not automatically remove the need to file annual accounts or maintain your confirmation statement. Dormancy for Companies House is also separate from dormancy for Corporation Tax purposes with HMRC. If you are unsure whether your company qualifies as dormant, we can review your circumstances and confirm what filing obligations apply.

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 annual accounts prepared for a limited company that is dormant for Companies House purposes. They show that the company had no significant accounting transactions during the reporting period, although they may include an opening balance sheet and any prior-year figures. Dormant accounts must be prepared in line with the applicable Companies House requirements and filed when required. They are not a substitute for a confirmation statement or Corporation Tax obligations.

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

Yes. Even a dormant company must generally file its annual accounts with Companies House, unless a specific exemption applies. Dormancy does not remove the filing obligation. The accounts may be simpler, but they still need to be prepared in the correct format and submitted by the company's statutory deadline. Our team can help you prepare and file dormant accounts correctly.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may be eligible to use the micro-entity accounting framework if they qualify as micro-entities under the Companies Act criteria. Dormancy and micro-entity status are not the same thing, and not every dormant company will qualify. We can review your company's circumstances and confirm which reporting framework applies before preparing the accounts.

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

A company can be dormant for Companies House purposes if it has no significant accounting transactions. HMRC treats dormancy differently for Corporation Tax. A company may need to notify HMRC that it is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes, and once HMRC confirms that no further Corporation Tax Returns are required, the company may not need to submit CT600s for future periods. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically tell HMRC that the company is dormant.

Does a dormant company need to submit a confirmation statement?

Yes, in most cases. Dormant company accounts are separate from the confirmation statement. A dormant company must still keep its company information up to date and file a confirmation statement at least once every twelve months. We can assist with confirmation statement preparation and submission if needed.

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

It depends on the company's Corporation Tax position. If the company is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes and has notified HMRC, it may be exempt from filing future Corporation Tax Returns. However, this is not automatic. A company that is dormant for Companies House purposes may still have Corporation Tax obligations unless HMRC confirms otherwise. We can help you clarify your position.

What information does Micro Entity Accounts need to prepare dormant company accounts?

To prepare dormant company accounts, we usually need details of the company, such as its registration number, registered office, directors and shareholders, along with information about any prior period accounts and any transactions that took place during the period. If the company has previously filed accounts, we will also need the latest accounts. We will guide you through what is required.
