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 Eastleigh?

A company may be able to file dormant company accounts if it has had no significant accounting transactions during the relevant financial period. This could include companies that have not yet started trading, have stopped trading, or are retained for future use. However, dormancy is not automatic and depends on the applicable accounting and Companies House rules. Importantly, being dormant for Companies House purposes does not remove the need to meet your filing obligations, and it is different from being dormant for Corporation Tax purposes with HMRC. We can review your circumstances and confirm what applies to your company.

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.

─── FAQs

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 annual accounts prepared for a company that is dormant for accounting purposes under the Companies Act. They show that the company has had no significant accounting transactions during the period, and they must be delivered to Companies House where required. Even though the company is dormant, the accounts still need to meet the applicable statutory requirements.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Generally, yes. A company that is dormant for Companies House purposes is usually still required to file annual accounts, unless a specific exemption applies to its particular circumstances. Dormant status does not mean that a company can ignore its filing obligations. We can advise on whether your company needs to file and, if so, we can help prepare the accounts correctly.

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

Yes, in most cases. A confirmation statement is a separate requirement from annual accounts. Even if a company is dormant, it must generally keep its information up to date at Companies House and file a confirmation statement at least once every 12 months. Filing dormant company accounts does not replace the confirmation statement.

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

They are separate tests. A company can be dormant for Companies House purposes if it has no significant accounting transactions, while HMRC's test for Corporation Tax dormancy is different. A company that is dormant for Corporation Tax may need to notify HMRC and may not need to file further Corporation Tax Returns once HMRC confirms this, subject to the relevant rules. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically tell HMRC that the company is dormant.

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

Not necessarily. A company that is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes may be able to stop filing Corporation Tax Returns after notifying HMRC and receiving confirmation that no return is required. However, this depends on the company's circumstances and tax position. The rules are separate from those used by Companies House, so it is important to check both sets of obligations.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

Dormant companies can still receive late-filing penalties if their required accounts are not delivered by the applicable deadline. The amount of any penalty depends on the circumstances and the length of the delay. Filing late does not remove the obligation to file, and a penalty may still apply. We can help you bring overdue accounts up to date and discuss whether an appeal may be possible.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

Typically, we will need your company details, such as the registered number, confirmation of the accounting period, and confirmation that there have been no significant accounting transactions. If your company has previously filed accounts, we may also need to review the prior year figures. In most cases, the information required is straightforward, and we will guide you through what is needed.

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

Yes. A company that has never traded or started its business may still be dormant and may need to file dormant company accounts with Companies House. We regularly assist eligible companies in this position. Even if there has been no activity, the statutory filing requirements may still apply, so it is worth getting professional advice to stay compliant.
