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 in Dumfries File Dormant Accounts?

A company is generally considered dormant for accounting purposes if it has no ‘significant accounting transactions’ during the period. This may apply to companies that have not yet started trading, have stopped trading, or are being retained for future use. However, dormancy is not determined simply by having no sales or no current activity; it depends on the specific statutory rules and the company’s circumstances. Importantly, a company regarded as dormant for Companies House purposes still normally has ongoing filing obligations. It must still file the required annual accounts, and it may also need to submit a confirmation statement to keep its registered information up to date. Companies House dormancy and HMRC Corporation Tax dormancy are separate: a company can be dormant for Companies House purposes while still being within the Corporation Tax regime. HMRC must be notified in the appropriate way and will confirm whether further Corporation Tax Returns are required. We recommend speaking with an accountant to establish the correct position for your Dumfries company before assuming that no filings are due.

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 prepared for a company that is dormant for Companies House purposes. They are submitted to Companies House to satisfy the company's annual filing requirement. Even though the company has no significant accounting transactions, the accounts must still meet the applicable legal format and may include a balance sheet and notes. A dormant company does not simply submit a blank form.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes. A dormant company must generally still deliver annual accounts to Companies House unless a specific exemption applies. Being dormant does not remove the legal requirement to file. The accounts may be simplified, but they still need to be prepared and filed before the company's statutory deadline. If you are unsure whether an exemption applies, it is important to check with an accountant.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may qualify as micro-entities and use the micro-entity accounting framework. Micro-entity status and dormancy are separate conditions. A company must meet the relevant size criteria and other legal requirements to be a micro-entity. If it qualifies, it may be able to prepare accounts under the micro-entity provisions, but this is not automatic. An accountant can confirm whether your Dumfries company is eligible.

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

Companies House and HMRC use different definitions and rules. A company is dormant for Companies House purposes if it has no significant accounting transactions, but that is determined under the Companies Act. For Corporation Tax, dormancy is judged by HMRC's own criteria. A company can be dormant for Companies House but still need to notify HMRC and potentially file Corporation Tax Returns unless HMRC has agreed that returns are no longer required. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically inform HMRC about the company's Corporation Tax status.

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

Yes, in most cases. Filing dormant accounts does not replace the confirmation statement. A dormant company must keep its registered details up to date and submit a confirmation statement to Companies House at least once every 12 months. The confirmation statement is separate from the annual accounts and confirms information such as directors, registered office and shareholders.

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

It depends on the company's Corporation Tax position. If a company is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes and HMRC has been notified accordingly, HMRC may confirm that Corporation Tax Returns are no longer required. Until then, the company may still have to file CT600 returns. Dormancy for Companies House does not automatically stop Corporation Tax obligations. HMRC's rules are separate, and an accountant should confirm what is required in your case.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

Late filing can lead to automatic penalties from Companies House, even for dormant companies. The penalty amount depends on how late the accounts are and the company's filing record; it is not a fixed sum for every company. If your accounts are already overdue, filing them promptly is essential. A penalty appeal may be possible only where the circumstances meet Companies House rules, but not every case qualifies. An accountant can advise on regularising the position.
