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 East Ayrshire?

A company may be able to file dormant accounts if it has had no significant accounting transactions during the accounting period. Typically, this applies where the company has not started trading or has stopped trading and has not carried out any other reportable activity. However, dormancy is not simply the absence of sales or customers. A company with ongoing running costs or other financial activity may not meet the test. Equally, a company can be dormant for Companies House purposes while still being active for Corporation Tax, so it is important to check the relevant definitions. Once dormant, the company must still file the required annual accounts with Companies House unless an exemption applies, and a confirmation statement may also be required. Our team can help you confirm whether dormant treatment is right for your company and prepare the necessary documents.

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.

What are dormant company accounts?

Dormant company accounts are the annual accounts prepared for a company that has no significant accounting transactions during the accounting period. They are filed with Companies House to meet the company's statutory filing obligations. Even though no trading activity may have taken place, the directors are still required to prepare and file accounts unless the company qualifies for a specific exemption. The format and content of dormant accounts depend on the company's circumstances and the applicable reporting framework.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, in most cases. A company that is dormant for Companies House purposes is generally still required to file annual accounts, unless a specific exemption applies. Dormancy does not remove the filing obligation automatically. The accounts may be simpler, but they must still be prepared and delivered to Companies House by the company's statutory deadline. Directors should also be aware that late filing can lead to penalties.

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

Being dormant for Companies House means the company has no significant accounting transactions for reporting purposes. Being dormant for Corporation Tax is a separate status recognised by HMRC. A company that is dormant for Companies House may still have to file Corporation Tax Returns if HMRC expects them, unless HMRC has confirmed that returns are no longer required. It is important not to assume that filing dormant accounts with Companies House automatically affects your Corporation Tax position.

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

Yes, most dormant companies must still submit a confirmation statement to Companies House at least once every 12 months. The confirmation statement is separate from the annual accounts and keeps the company's registered information up to date. Dormancy does not remove this obligation, and failing to file a confirmation statement can lead to the company being struck off the register.

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

Not necessarily. If the company is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes and has notified HMRC in writing, HMRC may confirm that Corporation Tax Returns are no longer required. Until then, the company may still need to file returns for each active accounting period. Each company's position depends on its history and HMRC's records. Our accountants can review your circumstances and advise on the appropriate steps.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If required accounts are submitted after the statutory deadline, Companies House may issue a late-filing penalty. The penalty amount depends on how late the accounts are and the company's circumstances. Dormant companies are not automatically exempt from these penalties. If a penalty is received, an appeal may be possible in certain circumstances, but this will depend on the specific reasons for the delay. It is always best to file on time or seek professional help if you are struggling to meet the deadline.

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

Yes. We regularly assist directors of companies in East Ayrshire whose dormant accounts have not been filed on time. We can review the company's records, prepare the outstanding accounts and file them with Companies House where possible. We can also help you understand any penalties that may apply and what to do next. Every situation is different, so we recommend contacting us for a review.
