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.

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 Dingwall Company Use Dormant Accounts?

A company may be able to prepare dormant accounts if it has not traded and has had no significant accounting transactions during the relevant period, or if it has stopped trading and has no subsequent activity that would prevent dormancy. Being dormant for Companies House purposes is not the same as being inactive for other reasons. A company with no sales, customers or employees is not automatically dormant; the applicable accounting and Companies House rules determine whether dormant treatment is appropriate. It is also important to understand that dormancy for Companies House purposes is separate from dormancy for Corporation Tax purposes. HMRC has its own rules, and a company might be dormant for Companies House while still having Corporation Tax obligations, or vice versa. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically update HMRC about the company’s Corporation Tax position. In some cases, HMRC may need to be notified separately before Corporation Tax reporting obligations change. Even where dormant accounts are appropriate, the company generally still has to file its annual accounts and keep its Companies House information up to date with a confirmation statement. Dormant status does not remove those obligations, and the company remains incorporated until it is formally dissolved.

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 annual accounts that a company prepares and files with Companies House when it qualifies as dormant for accounting purposes. They are not a way to avoid filing altogether. The accounts confirm that the company had no significant accounting transactions during the period, and they must satisfy the reporting requirements that apply to the company. Certain exemptions may reduce what needs to be included, but this depends on the company's circumstances.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Generally, yes. A company that is dormant for Companies House purposes is still required to file annual accounts unless a specific exemption applies. Dormant status does not remove the filing requirement. If the company is also eligible for a simpler reporting framework, the accounts may be shorter, but they still need to be filed with Companies House by the annual deadline.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework, but dormancy does not automatically make a company a micro-entity. Eligibility depends on factors such as the company's size, turnover, balance sheet total and number of employees. If the company qualifies, the micro-entity accounts can be prepared under FRS 105. We can review your circumstances and help you understand which framework applies.

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

Companies House and HMRC use different tests for dormancy. A company may be dormant for Companies House because it has no significant accounting transactions, but HMRC may still expect Corporation Tax obligations to be dealt with, depending on the company's circumstances. The reverse can also be true. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically tell HMRC that the company is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes, and separate notification to HMRC may be needed where applicable.

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

Yes. The confirmation statement is separate from dormant company accounts and must be filed with Companies House even if the company is dormant. It is generally required once every 12 months to confirm that the company's registered information is correct. Filing dormant accounts does not remove the need to submit a confirmation statement.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

To prepare dormant company accounts, we usually need the company's details, its registered office address, director and shareholder information, and confirmation that no reportable transactions occurred during the period. We also need to know whether the company qualifies for any exemption. If the company has previously traded, we may need prior year accounts. We can advise on whatever documentation is required.

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

Yes. If a dormant company has missed one or more filing deadlines, we can help you prepare the outstanding accounts and bring your filing history up to date. Late-filing penalties may apply, and eligibility for an appeal or reduction depends on the circumstances and Companies House rules. We will review your position and guide you on what to expect, but we cannot guarantee that penalties will be waived.
