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 You File Dormant Company Accounts in Drymen?

A company may be able to prepare dormant company accounts if it has had no significant accounting transactions during the period. This might apply to companies that have not yet started trading, have stopped trading, or have no income or expenditure. However, dormancy is not simply the absence of sales or activity; it depends on the relevant Companies Act rules and your specific circumstances. It is also important to remember that being dormant for Companies House purposes is separate from being dormant for Corporation Tax purposes with HMRC. Even if your company is dormant, you may still need to file annual accounts and a confirmation statement. We can help you determine the correct approach for your dormant company accounts in Drymen.

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 sends to Companies House when it is dormant under the Companies Act. They are typically simpler than full statutory accounts, but they must still meet Companies House requirements. The accounts confirm that the company had no significant accounting transactions during the period, and they may include a directors' statement to confirm the dormant status.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, in most cases a dormant company is still required to file accounts with Companies House each year unless a specific exemption applies. Dormancy does not remove the annual filing obligation. If the required accounts are not filed by the applicable deadline, the company may be subject to late-filing penalties. We can assist in preparing and filing the correct dormant accounts for your Drymen company.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may also qualify as micro-entities under the Companies Act and may therefore be able to use the micro-entity reporting framework. This depends on the company's size and eligibility. Being dormant and being a micro-entity are not the same thing, and not every dormant company automatically qualifies. We can review your company's circumstances and prepare the most appropriate accounts.

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

Dormancy for Companies House concerns your annual accounts and whether the company had significant accounting transactions. Dormancy for HMRC concerns Corporation Tax and whether the company needs to file Corporation Tax Returns. The two definitions are not identical. A company can be dormant for Companies House but still have Corporation Tax obligations, or vice versa. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically tell HMRC that the company is dormant for tax purposes.

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

Yes. A confirmation statement is a separate filing with Companies House that is required for every company, including dormant ones. It confirms that the information on the public register is accurate, such as directors, shareholders and the registered office. Submitting dormant company accounts does not replace the confirmation statement. We can help prepare and file your confirmation statement alongside your dormant accounts.

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

It depends on the company's Corporation Tax position. If HMRC accepts that the company is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes, it may not need to file further Corporation Tax Returns once HMRC has confirmed they are no longer required. However, the company may need to notify HMRC of its dormant status first. We can advise on your specific situation and help you deal with HMRC where appropriate.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If a dormant company fails to file its accounts by the applicable Companies House deadline, it may receive a late-filing penalty. The amount depends on how late the accounts are filed and whether the company has been late before. Dormant status does not automatically protect a company from penalties. If you have overdue accounts, it is important to address them promptly. We can help bring your filings up to date and assist with any penalty appeal where eligible.

Can you help with dormant company accounts for a company that has never traded?

Yes. Many companies are incorporated for future use and never actually trade. If such a company has not entered into any significant accounting transactions, it may be able to prepare dormant company accounts. We regularly assist directors of companies in this position across Drymen and can confirm whether your company qualifies, then prepare and file the correct accounts.
