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.

Special thanks to Muhammad Saifullah for his assistance.

 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 Accounts in Gloucester?

A company can usually file dormant accounts if it has not had any significant accounting transactions during the period. However, dormancy is not simply about having no sales or no current trading activity — it depends on the company’s specific circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules. Even where a company is dormant for Companies House purposes, it may still need to file annual accounts and keep its confirmation statement up to date. Importantly, being dormant for Companies House purposes is separate from being dormant for Corporation Tax with HMRC. We help directors in Gloucester determine whether dormant company accounts are appropriate and what filings remain required.

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 statutory annual accounts prepared for a company that is dormant for Companies House purposes. They show that the company has had no significant accounting transactions during the period and usually include a balance sheet and certain notes. Preparing dormant accounts does not mean the company can ignore its filing obligations — the accounts still need to meet the relevant Companies House requirements and be filed by the applicable deadline.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, in most cases. A company that is dormant for Companies House purposes generally still needs to file annual accounts, unless a specific exemption applies. Being dormant does not automatically remove the requirement to file. Additionally, a confirmation statement may still be required to keep the company's registered information up to date. We can help you understand exactly what applies to your dormant company and prepare the necessary documents.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may qualify as micro-entities and therefore be able to use the micro-entity reporting framework, subject to the applicable eligibility requirements. However, dormancy and micro-entity status are not the same thing. Whether a dormant company can file micro-entity accounts depends on its size, legal structure and accounting period. We can review your company’s position and prepare accounts using the appropriate reporting framework.

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

These are two separate concepts. A company can be dormant for Companies House purposes because it has no significant accounting transactions, yet still be active for Corporation Tax. Conversely, a company may be dormant for HMRC if it has no income or chargeable gains, but it still needs to meet its Companies House filing requirements. Filing dormant company accounts with Companies House does not automatically notify HMRC that the company is dormant. HMRC has its own rules and must be contacted separately where applicable.

Does a dormant company still need a confirmation statement?

Yes, a dormant company is generally still required to file a confirmation statement with Companies House at least once a year, unless it is exempt. The confirmation statement is separate from dormant company accounts and confirms that the company's registered details are correct. It must be filed even if the company is dormant and is not trading.

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

It depends on the company's Corporation Tax position. If HMRC has confirmed that the company is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes, it may not need to file further CT600 returns, subject to the applicable rules. Otherwise, a Corporation Tax Return may still be required. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically stop Corporation Tax obligations. We can help you understand HMRCu2019s requirements for your dormant company and assist with any returns that remain necessary.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If a dormant company does not file its required accounts by the applicable deadline, Companies House may issue a late-filing penalty. Dormant status does not automatically protect a company from these consequences. The amount of any penalty depends on how late the accounts are filed and the company's circumstances. If a penalty has been issued, it is still necessary to file the outstanding accounts. We can help you bring your dormant company accounts up to date and, where appropriate, explain your circumstances in relation to a penalty appeal.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

To prepare dormant company accounts, we generally need details of the company's registered name and number, the accounting period, the directors' names and addresses, and confirmation that there have been no significant accounting transactions. We may also need details of any prior-year filings to ensure consistency. Once we have the necessary information, we can prepare the accounts and file them with Companies House on your behalf. We will always confirm what is required before filing.
