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 in Great Milton Use Dormant Company Accounts?

A company can be considered dormant for Companies House purposes if it has had no significant accounting transactions during the relevant accounting period. This typically includes a company that has never traded, has stopped trading, or is a holding company for an interest in another company, but dormancy depends on the precise rules and the company’s individual circumstances. It is important to note that being dormant does not automatically exempt a company from preparing and filing annual accounts. Unless a specific exemption applies, a dormant company must still deliver its required accounts to Companies House and keep its register up to date with a confirmation statement when required. HMRC treats dormancy separately; a company that is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes may need to inform HMRC to avoid filing further Corporation Tax Returns, but filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically communicate that status to HMRC. We advise Great Milton companies on their full compliance picture.

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 a company submits to Companies House for a period in which it is dormant for accounting purposes. Where the company meets the relevant criteria, the accounts are simplifiedu2014often without the turnover, profit and loss or balance sheet details required of an active company. However, they must still be prepared in line with the applicable accounting requirements, and the directors must provide the final confirmation that the company has not had significant accounting transactions during the period.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts with Companies House?

Yes, in most cases. Dormant status does not remove a company's annual filing obligation unless a specific exemption applies. The directors are still responsible for delivering the annual accounts to Companies House within the applicable statutory timescale. Even when the company has no trading activity, the filing requirement normally remains. This is why we strongly recommend that dormant companies in Great Milton seek professional help to ensure the accounts are filed correctly and on time.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may qualify as micro-entities under the Companies Act size criteria, but this is not automatic. Dormancy and micro-entity status are determined separately. A company that is dormant and also meets the micro-entity conditions may be able to use the simpler reporting framework, but eligibility must be checked each year. We can review your circumstances and prepare accounts under the appropriate framework.

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

These are separate categories. For Companies House, dormancy is mainly about having no significant accounting transactions. For HMRC, dormancy for Corporation Tax depends on the company's tax position—a company might be dormant for Companies House but still have to file Corporation Tax Returns if HMRC has not agreed that no returns are needed. Similarly, a company could be dormant for Corporation Tax but still need annual accounts for Companies House. Filing dormant accounts does not automatically notify HMRC. You should deal with each authority separately.

Does a dormant company need a confirmation statement?

Yes, generally. A confirmation statement is a separate Companies House filing that confirms the company's registered details are up to date. It is filed at least once a year, though it is separate from the annual accounts. Dormant status does not usually remove this obligation. Even if the company has no activity, directors should ensure the confirmation statement is submitted when due.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

To prepare dormant company accounts we normally need the company's details, previous accounts, a confirmation that there have been no significant accounting transactions, details of any fixed assets or other balance sheet items, and confirmation that the company still meets the dormancy conditions. We will also need the company's confirmation date and the names of directors for the signature page. We guide clients in Great Milton through exactly what we require so the process is simple and no deadlines are missed.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

Companies House can issue a late-filing penalty even for dormant accounts if the accounts are not delivered by the company's filing deadline. The penalty amount varies depending on how late the company files, and dormancy does not automatically protect the company. If accounts are overdue, the company should still file them as soon as possibleu2014paying a penalty does not fix the failure to file. We can review the company's position and, where appropriate, help you bring matters back on track, but we cannot guarantee that a penalty will be cancelled.
