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.

Accountant Review

When Can a Company File Dormant Accounts in Guildford?

A company may be able to file dormant company accounts when it meets the dormancy test for the relevant accounting period. This depends on the nature of the company’s activities and the applicable Companies House rules. Crucially, dormancy does not automatically remove the duty to file annual accounts or keep Companies House information up to date. A company can be dormant for Companies House purposes while still having Corporation Tax obligations with HMRC, so the two tests must be considered separately. Before deciding to file dormant accounts, it is sensible to review the company’s transactions and records to confirm that it truly qualifies.

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 the annual accounts a company files with Companies House for an accounting period in which it had no significant accounting transactions. They are simplified accounts, but they are still statutory accounts and must meet the applicable filing requirements. Filing dormant company accounts does not remove other obligations, such as submitting a confirmation statement or addressing any Corporation Tax matters with HMRC.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Generally, yes. A company that is dormant for Companies House purposes is still required to file annual accounts unless a specific exemption applies. Dormancy does not mean there are no filing obligations. In fact, the need to file dormant company accounts is common. If you are unsure whether your company falls within an exemption, it is advisable to check the relevant guidance or speak with an accountant.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may also qualify as micro-entities, but dormancy and micro-entity status are not the same. If your company qualifies for the micro-entity reporting framework, it may be able to file accounts under that simplified framework, subject to the applicable size and eligibility requirements. We can review your company's circumstances and prepare the accounts under the appropriate framework.

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

Companies House and HMRC apply different tests for dormancy. A company can be dormant for Companies House purposes while still being required to file Corporation Tax Returns with HMRC, and vice versa. Filing dormant company accounts with Companies House does not automatically tell HMRC that the company is dormant, and it does not remove any Corporation Tax obligations. The company's Corporation Tax position must be considered separately.

Does a dormant company still need a confirmation statement?

Yes, in most cases. A confirmation statement is separate from dormant company accounts. It keeps Companies House up to date with information about your company's directors, shareholders, registered office and other statutory details. Dormancy does not remove the need to file a confirmation statement when it becomes due.

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

It depends. If a company is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes and HMRC has confirmed that returns are no longer required, then further Corporation Tax Returns may not be needed. Otherwise, you may still need to file a return for the relevant accounting period. HMRC's requirements depend on the company's particular circumstances and any action taken to notify HMRC of the dormant status.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

Companies House may issue a late-filing penalty if the accounts are not submitted by the relevant filing deadline. Dormant status does not automatically prevent a penalty. The amount depends on how late the accounts are and the company's specific situation. If you have missed a deadline, it is advisable to file the outstanding accounts as soon as possible and, where appropriate, consider an appeal based on the applicable rules.
