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 You File Dormant Company Accounts?

A company may be able to file dormant company accounts with Companies House if it has not had any significant accounting transactions during the accounting period. For Companies House purposes, dormancy is normally based on the company’s activity in the period, not on whether it has generated sales. A newly incorporated company that has not yet started trading may be dormant, and a company that has stopped trading may also qualify, depending on the rules. However, dormancy does not automatically remove the need to file annual accounts or to submit a confirmation statement. It is also important to distinguish between dormancy for Companies House and dormancy for HMRC: HMRC’s Corporation Tax rules are separate, and a company may need to continue filing Corporation Tax Returns unless HMRC has confirmed otherwise. We can help you assess your situation and determine whether dormant company accounts are appropriate.

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.

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 filed with Companies House for a company that qualifies as dormant for accounting purposes. They are generally simpler than full accounts but must still show a balance sheet and comply with the statutory requirements. Dormancy for Companies House normally means the company has no significant accounting transactions in the period, but it does not remove the obligation to file accounts unless a specific exemption applies. We can prepare these accounts for your company in Hamble and help you file them correctly.

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

Yes. A company that is dormant for Companies House purposes is still generally required to file its annual accounts with Companies House. Dormancy does not remove the filing obligation, and the form and content of the accounts will depend on the company's circumstances and reporting framework. Our accountants can confirm what your company needs to file and manage the filing for you.

Can a dormant company use micro-entity accounts?

A dormant company may also qualify as a micro-entity, provided it meets the eligibility conditions for the micro-entity regime under the Companies Act. Dormancy and micro-entity status are separate concepts: a company can be dormant without being a micro-entity, and a micro-entity may or may not be dormant. Where both apply, the accounts may be prepared under the micro-entity framework, which simplifies reporting. We can review your company's eligibility and prepare the appropriate accounts.

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 may be dormant for Companies House purposes if it has no significant accounting transactions, while HMRC's Corporation Tax treatment depends on whether the company has income or chargeable gains. Filing dormant company accounts with Companies House does not automatically notify HMRC that the company is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes, nor does it exempt the company from Corporation Tax obligations. If your company is dormant for HMRC purposes and has no tax liability, you may need to tell HMRC and, in some circumstances, you may not need to file further Corporation Tax Returns once HMRC has confirmed that no return is required. We can help clarify the position.

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

Yes. Filing dormant company accounts does not replace the confirmation statement. A dormant company must still keep its information at Companies House up to date and file a confirmation statement at least once every 12 months. The confirmation statement is separate from annual accounts and confirms the company's registered office, directors, shareholders and people with significant control. We can support you with both obligations.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If required dormant company accounts are not filed by the applicable deadline, Companies House may issue a late-filing penalty. Dormant status does not automatically protect a company from penalties. The amount of the penalty can vary depending on how late the accounts are filed, and a penalty does not remove the need to file the outstanding accounts. If you have missed a filing, we can help you bring your filing up to date as quickly as possible and review whether an appeal is appropriate in the circumstances.

Can you help with overdue dormant company accounts?

Yes. If your company has overdue dormant company accounts at Companies House, we can assist in preparing and filing the outstanding accounts and bring the company's filing history up to date. We will also help you review any penalties and advise on the steps you can take, including, where appropriate, whether a late-filing penalty appeal is possible. The specific action will depend on the company's circumstances and the reason for the late filing.
