 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.

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 in Houston?

Under Companies House rules, a company is usually considered dormant for accounts purposes if it has no significant accounting transactions during the period. That typically means a company that has not started trading, has stopped trading, or has had no income or expenditure other than certain permitted payments. However, being dormant for Companies House purposes is not the same as being dormant for Corporation Tax with HMRC. Filing dormant company accounts does not automatically tell HMRC that the company is dormant, and the company may still have other filing duties, including a confirmation statement. Before deciding whether dormant accounts are appropriate for your company in Houston, it is important to review the company’s activities, year-end date and eligibility. Our team can help you assess whether dormant status applies and ensure the correct accounts are prepared and filed with Companies House.

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 purposes under Companies House rules. A company will generally fall into this category if it has no significant accounting transactions during the relevant financial year. These accounts must still meet Companies House requirements, but they are usually simplified compared with full statutory accounts. Filing dormant accounts does not mean the company is exempt from all filing obligations, and the correct type of accounts depends on the company’s eligibility.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, in most cases. A dormant company is generally still required to file annual accounts with Companies House, usually using dormant accounts if it meets the relevant criteria. Being dormant does not remove the filing requirement. The accounts may be simplified, but the obligation to deliver a copy to Companies House remains unless a specific exemption applies. It is always important to check the position for each financial period.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may qualify as micro-entities and may therefore use the micro-entity reporting framework. Dormancy does not automatically mean micro-entity status; eligibility depends on factors such as turnover, total assets and employee numbers. If a company meets the requirements, it may prepare accounts under the micro-entity framework. Our team can help confirm whether your dormant company in Houston meets the relevant tests.

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

Companies House dormancy relates to whether the company has significant accounting transactions and affects the type of annual accounts to file. HMRC dormancy for Corporation Tax is based on the company not carrying on a business activity and having no income or expenditure that would be chargeable to tax. A company can be dormant under one set of rules but not the other. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically tell HMRC, so a company may still need to notify HMRC separately if it is also dormant for Corporation Tax.

Does a dormant company need to submit a confirmation statement?

Yes, a confirmation statement is a separate Companies House filing and must generally be delivered at least once every 12 months. Filing dormant company accounts does not replace the confirmation statement. The confirmation statement verifies that the company’s registered office, directors, shareholders and other required information are up to date. A dormant company remains subject to this requirement unless it has been dissolved or a specific exemption applies.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

Late filing can result in automatic penalties from Companies House, regardless of whether the company is dormant. The amount of the penalty depends on how late the accounts are, and dormant status alone does not protect a company from such penalties. If accounts have been filed late, eligibility for an appeal depends on the circumstances and Companies House rules. The outstanding accounts should still be filed as soon as possible.

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

Yes. If a dormant company has missed its Companies House filing deadline, we can assist in preparing and filing the overdue accounts and provide practical guidance for bringing the company back into compliance. We cannot guarantee that penalties will be reduced or waived, but we can help you act promptly and make sure future dormant company accounts requirements are met.
