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 Should Your Company File Dormant Company Accounts?

Directors of limited companies in Dumfriesshire often ask whether their company is dormant and what filing obligations remain. Under the Companies Act, a company is usually considered dormant for Companies House purposes if it has no significant accounting transactions during the relevant financial year. This may apply to newly incorporated companies that have not yet started trading, companies that have ceased trading, or holding companies with no income or expenditure. However, dormancy is not automatic simply because a company has no sales or is not currently trading; the position depends on its specific transactions and the applicable accounting rules. Filing dormant accounts is separate from Corporation Tax: a company dormant for Companies House may still have Corporation Tax obligations to consider with HMRC. Even when dormant, a company must typically still file its annual accounts and keep its confirmation statement up to date, unless a specific exemption applies. Our team can help you determine whether your company meets the dormancy definition and what filing obligations remain.

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 a company prepares and files with Companies House when it is dormant for accounting purposes. They confirm that the company had no significant accounting transactions during the relevant period. These accounts must meet the applicable Companies House requirements, and a company cannot simply ignore its filing obligation.

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 each year, unless a specific exemption applies. Filing dormant accounts is a statutory obligation that keeps the company on the register and avoids penalty notices. Your company's circumstances will determine which accounts format is appropriate.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may also qualify as micro-entities and can therefore prepare and file accounts under the micro-entity reporting framework, such as FRS 105. However, dormancy and micro-entity status are not the same. Eligibility depends on the company's size, legal structure and accounting period. A qualified accountant should confirm which framework applies.

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

Companies House and HMRC use different definitions and processes. A company may be dormant for Companies House if it has no significant accounting transactions, but HMRC's dormancy rules for Corporation Tax are separate. Even if a company is dormant for Companies House, it may still need to notify HMRC and, in some cases, file Corporation Tax Returns. You should check both obligations separately.

Does a dormant company still need a confirmation statement?

Yes. A confirmation statement is separate from dormant company accounts and is required by Companies House at least once every 12 months. It confirms your registered office address, directors, shareholders and other statutory information. Filing dormant accounts does not replace the need to submit a confirmation statement.

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

Not necessarily. If HMRC has agreed that a company is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes, it may be exempt from filing CT600 Corporation Tax Returns for periods covered by that arrangement. However, dormancy for Companies House does not automatically apply for Corporation Tax. You should notify HMRC and follow their guidance to confirm whether returns are required.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If required dormant company accounts are submitted late, Companies House may issue a late-filing penalty. Dormant status does not automatically protect a company from penalties, and each case is treated on its own facts. If you have missed a deadline, it is important to file the outstanding accounts as soon as possible and, where appropriate, consider whether you have grounds to appeal.

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

Yes. If your company has missed one or more filing deadlines, we can help bring your dormant company accounts up to date with Companies House. We will prepare the necessary accounts and file them on your behalf, and we can also assist with confirmation statements where needed. Late filing can have consequences, so it is best to address any outstanding filings promptly.

Need Dormant Company Accounts in Dumfriesshire?

At Micro Entity Accounts, we understand that company directors in Dumfriesshire are often unsure what dormant status means for their filing responsibilities.

Our qualified accountants provide clear, practical guidance with transparent pricing, so you can decide the right course for your company.
