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 if it is dormant for Companies House purposes. Generally, that means the company has had no significant accounting transactions during the accounting period, although certain transactions such as allotting shares or paying filing fees may still be allowed in specific circumstances. Dormancy depends on the company’s own facts and the relevant legal and accounting rules, so it is not simply based on having no turnover or no employees. Even where a company is dormant, it is important to understand that annual accounts may still need to be filed, and a confirmation statement may also be required. In addition, being dormant for Companies House does not automatically make a company dormant for HMRC Corporation Tax purposes. We can help you review whether your company qualifies as dormant and what filing obligations remain.

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 annual accounts prepared for a company that is dormant for accounting and Companies House purposes. A dormant company typically has no significant accounting transactions during the financial year, but this does not mean the company is exempt from filing obligations. The accounts are prepared to meet the requirements of the Companies Act and are delivered to Companies House within the applicable filing period.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, a dormant company will generally still need to file accounts unless a specific exemption applies. Dormant status does not automatically remove the requirement to deliver annual accounts to Companies House. Some companies must continue to file a form of dormant accounts each year, and the exact requirements depend on the company's circumstances and any applicable exemptions.

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

Companies House and HMRC operate separate rules. For Companies House, dormancy focuses on whether the company has had significant accounting transactions and therefore whether simplified accounts may be filed. HMRC's dormancy test is concerned with Corporation Tax and whether the company is carrying on a trade, investment activity, or other taxable activity. A company can be dormant for Companies House but still have tax obligations, and you must notify HMRC separately about your Corporation Tax position.

Does a dormant company still need a confirmation statement?

A confirmation statement is separate from dormant company accounts. Even if your company is dormant, you will normally need to submit a confirmation statement at least once a year to confirm that the company information held by Companies House is correct. Filing dormant accounts does not replace the confirmation statement requirement.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may also qualify as micro-entities, and if so they may prepare their accounts under the micro-entity reporting framework. However, not all dormant companies are micro-entities, and dormancy and micro-entity status are two different tests. Eligibility depends on the company's size, structure and accounting period. We can help determine the most appropriate reporting framework for your company.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

To prepare dormant company accounts, we typically need your company registration number, the reporting period dates, details of any previous accounts, and information about the directors. We also need to know whether the company has had any transactions during the period, such as the issue of shares or filing fees, as this affects the dormancy claim. Once you provide the details, we can prepare the accounts and arrange for director approval before filing.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If required accounts are filed late, Companies House may issue a late-filing penalty even when the company is dormant. The penalty will depend on how late the accounts are and the company's circumstances. Filing dormant status does not automatically protect a company from these consequences. If accounts are already overdue, it is important to bring them up to date promptly and we can assist with preparing and submitting the outstanding documents.

Can you help bring overdue dormant company accounts up to date?

Yes, we can help you prepare and file overdue dormant company accounts that have not been submitted to Companies House. In doing so, we can review your records and address the current requirements. We cannot guarantee that a late-filing penalty will be reduced or cancelled, but we can assist you in filing the necessary accounts and, where appropriate, you may be able to appeal based on the circumstances.
