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 in Didcot?

A company may be able to file dormant company accounts if it has no significant accounting transactions during the relevant accounting period. This might include a company that has never traded, one that has stopped trading and no longer carries on business, or a holding company with no significant transactions. However, dormancy is not simply about having no sales or no current activity; it depends on the company’s accounts, the nature of any transactions and the applicable Companies House rules. Crucially, a company that is dormant for accounting purposes is generally still required to file its annual accounts with Companies House, and it usually still needs to submit a confirmation statement to keep its registered details up to date. In addition, HMRC has its own separate test for Corporation Tax dormancy. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically notify HMRC, and the company’s Corporation Tax filing obligations depend on its specific position and any confirmation received from HMRC. We can help you assess whether your company qualifies as dormant for Companies House purposes and ensure you understand what still 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 statutory annual accounts that a company prepares and files with Companies House for a period in which it has no significant accounting transactions. They are not simply a note saying the company has done nothing; the accounts must still be prepared and filed in accordance with Companies House requirements, generally including a balance sheet and any relevant notes. A company can be dormant for Companies House purposes even if it still has filing obligations, so professional assistance can help ensure the accounts are correctly prepared.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, in most cases. A dormant company is generally still required to file annual accounts with Companies House unless a specific exemption applies. Meeting the Companies House dormancy test does not remove the obligation to deliver accounts on time. Directors are responsible for ensuring the accounts are filed by the applicable statutory deadline, even when the company is completely inactive.

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

The two organisations use different definitions. Companies House regards a company as dormant when it has no significant accounting transactions during the period. HMRC, on the other hand, has its own rules for determining whether a company is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes. Submitting dormant company accounts to Companies House does not automatically inform HMRC. If you believe your company should be treated as dormant for Corporation Tax, you normally need to notify HMRC separately, and no further Corporation Tax Return may be required only once HMRC has confirmed this in your particular circumstances.

Does a dormant company need to submit a confirmation statement?

Yes, generally. A confirmation statement is separate from dormant company accounts and must be filed with Companies House at least once every 12 months, even if there have been no changes to the company's details. Directors, shareholders, registered office and other required information need to be kept current. Filing dormant accounts does not replace this separate obligation.

Can a dormant company use micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may qualify as micro-entities and can use the simplified micro-entity reporting framework when preparing their accounts. Eligibility depends on the company's size, legal form and the accounting period in question. Dormancy and micro-entity status are not the same thing, so it is important to confirm that the company meets the relevant criteria under the Companies Act and applicable financial reporting standards. We can review your company's position and help determine whether the micro-entity accounts format is permitted.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If a dormant company files its annual accounts late, Companies House may issue a late-filing penalty. The amount of the penalty depends on how late the accounts are and the company's specific circumstances. Late filing does not remove the need to file the outstanding accounts, and even a dormant company is not automatically protected from penalties. If there are valid mitigating reasons, a penalty appeal may be possible under the Companies House rules, but success depends on the circumstances. We can help you file overdue accounts and understand your position.

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

Yes. If your company has missed one or more filing deadlines, we can review your records and assist in preparing the outstanding dormant company accounts and submitting them to Companies House. We can also help with any associated confirmation statements or other compliance steps needed to bring your company back into good standing. While we cannot guarantee that Companies House will reduce or waive late-filing penalties, we can ensure your filings are accurate and complete.
