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 Are Dormant Company Accounts in Dagenham Essex the Right Choice?

A company can generally use dormant company accounts for a specific accounting period if it has not had significant accounting transactions during that period and meets the eligibility conditions set out for dormant companies. This may apply to a company that has stopped trading, has not yet started it, or is being retained for a future purpose. However, dormancy for Companies House purposes is not the same as simply having no sales or no customers, and it does not automatically exempt you from filing annual accounts or submitting a confirmation statement. In addition, you must consider whether HMRC treats the company as dormant for Corporation Tax; the two definitions operate separately. An accountant can assess whether your company in Dagenham Essex qualifies and what 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 a simplified set of annual accounts that eligible dormant companies can file with Companies House. They show that the company has not had significant accounting transactions during the period, while still providing basic statutory information about the company. They are separate from Corporation Tax returns and are not the same as being exempt from filing altogether.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes. A dormant company generally still has to deliver annual accounts to Companies House for each accounting period, unless a specific exemption applies. Filing dormant company accounts is a way of meeting that requirement, but it is still a filing obligation. Directors also have ongoing responsibilities such as filing a confirmation statement and keeping company records up to date.

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

Companies House and HMRC use different tests for dormancy. A company might be treated as dormant by Companies House but still have an obligation to file Corporation Tax returns or otherwise notify HMRC of a change in activity. Being dormant for Companies House does not automatically tell HMRC that the company is dormant for tax purposes. You need to consider both regimes separately.

Does a dormant company still need a confirmation statement?

Yes. A confirmation statement is a separate filing with Companies House and is generally required at least once every 12 months, even if the company is dormant. Filing dormant company accounts does not replace the confirmation statement. Directors need to confirm that the company's registered details are accurate and update anything that has changed.

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

It depends on the company's Corporation Tax position. If HMRC agrees that the company is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes, it may not require further Corporation Tax returns. However, you generally need to notify HMRC and meet the relevant conditions. A company that is still receiving income or carrying on any chargeable activity will likely remain within the Corporation Tax regime. We recommend checking with an accountant and with HMRC.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

Late filing of dormant company accounts can lead to Companies House late-filing penalties. The amount depends on the length of the delay and whether accounts are filed at all. Filing the accounts late does not remove the need to file them, and it does not automatically prevent a penalty. If you have missed a deadline, it is important to take action promptly.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

To prepare dormant company accounts, your accountant generally needs the company's registration number, the accounting period, details of directors, the registered office address, and confirmation that the company did not have significant transactions. Sometimes there are small permitted transactions, such as payment for shares or S191 filings, but these must be considered carefully. We will guide you on what information is required for your specific situation.

Can you help bring overdue dormant company accounts up to date?

If your company in Dagenham Essex has missed one or more annual deadlines, we can help you prepare the outstanding dormant company accounts and file them with Companies House. There may be penalties for each late period, but bringing filings up to date is still essential. You should also check whether HMRC filing obligations have been missed and what steps are needed to resolve them.
