 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 East Midlands Companies File Dormant Company Accounts?

A company is not automatically dormant simply because it has no sales or is not yet trading. For Companies House purposes, dormancy generally means the company has had no significant accounting transactions during the relevant period. A company that has stopped trading, has not yet started trading, or is being retained for future use may therefore be able to file dormant company accounts if it meets the applicable conditions. Dormant status under Companies House rules does not mean the company is exempt from all filing duties. The company will normally still need to file its annual accounts and keep its confirmation statement up to date. Separately, HMRC has its own definition of dormancy for Corporation Tax. A company that is dormant for Companies House purposes may or may not be dormant for Corporation Tax, and HMRC should be notified where appropriate. Failing to understand these different tests can lead to unnecessary penalties, so it is important to review the circumstances of your East Midlands company before assuming no filing is needed.

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 that an eligible limited company must prepare and file with Companies House when it has been dormant for accounting purposes. They confirm that the company has had no significant accounting transactions in the period, and they need to meet the relevant statutory requirements. Dormant accounts are not simply 'no accounts'; they still need to be prepared and submitted on time.

Does a dormant limited company still need to file accounts?

Yes, in most cases. Unless a specific exemption applies, a dormant company must still file its annual accounts with Companies House. Dormant status does not remove the requirement to file accounts, and failing to do so can lead to late-filing penalties. The type of accounts required will depend on the company's size, eligibility and reporting framework, but the filing obligation generally remains.

What is the difference between Companies House dormancy and HMRC dormancy?

Companies House and HMRC apply different tests for dormancy. A company may be dormant for Companies House if it has no significant accounting transactions, but HMRC may still expect Corporation Tax filings unless the company has been formally notified as dormant for tax purposes. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically inform HMRC. You should consider both sets of obligations separately.

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

Yes. A confirmation statement is a separate filing requirement under Companies House, and dormancy does not exempt a company from submitting it. The confirmation statement confirms that the company's registered details are correct, and it must be filed at least once a year. Preparing dormant company accounts does not replace this requirement.

Can a dormant company submit micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework, which allows for simpler accounts. However, dormancy and micro-entity status are different concepts. A dormant company is not automatically a micro-entity, and whether the micro-entity framework applies depends on the company's eligibility and accounting period. We can review your company's position to identify the correct framework.

What happens if my dormant company accounts are overdue?

If a dormant company does not file its required accounts by the deadline, Companies House can issue a late-filing penalty. Even if the accounts show no activity, the obligation to file remains, and dormancy does not provide automatic protection from penalties. If your accounts are already overdue, we can help you prepare and file them as quickly as possible and discuss whether an appeal may be appropriate, although acceptance of any appeal depends on Companies House rules.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

To prepare dormant company accounts, we generally need details of the company's registered office, directors, shareholder information, and confirmation that there have been no reportable transactions during the period. We also need to know the company's accounting reference date. If the company has previously traded but is now dormant, we may require information about its last balance sheet so the opening position is accurate.
