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 Kells Use Dormant Company Accounts?

A company may be able to file dormant company accounts when it has had no significant accounting transactions during the relevant period. Dormancy is not simply the same as having no sales or temporarily pausing business activity; it depends on the applicable rules and the company’s specific circumstances. Even if a company qualifies as dormant for Companies House purposes, it generally still needs to file annual accounts and may also need to submit a confirmation statement. It is also important to remember that being dormant for Companies House is not the same as being dormant for Corporation Tax with HMRC. A company that is dormant for HMRC purposes may need to notify HMRC, and further Corporation Tax Returns may not be required once HMRC has confirmed this, subject to the applicable rules. We can review your position and confirm whether dormant company accounts are appropriate for your company in Kells.

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 prepared for a company that is dormant for Companies House purposes. They must still meet the applicable statutory requirements, but the format may be simpler depending on the company’s eligibility. A dormant company generally still has to file these accounts with Companies House unless a specific exemption applies. Filing them does not close the company or remove other obligations, such as the confirmation statement.

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 each year unless a specific exemption applies. Being dormant does not automatically remove the filing requirement. We can help you confirm whether an exemption applies and prepare the required dormant company accounts if not.

Can a dormant company use the micro-entity reporting framework?

Some dormant companies may also qualify as micro-entities under the relevant Companies Act criteria, allowing them to use a simplified reporting framework. Not every dormant company will qualify, and dormancy is not the same as micro-entity status. We will confirm eligibility based on the company’s circumstances before preparing the accounts.

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

Dormancy for Companies House is assessed against the company’s accounting activity, while HMRC applies its own rules for Corporation Tax dormancy. A company may be dormant for one but not the other. Filing dormant company accounts with Companies House does not automatically tell HMRC that the company is dormant for Corporation Tax. If HMRC does treat a company as dormant for Corporation Tax purposes, it may not need to file future CT600 returns once HMRC has confirmed that, but this is not automatic. We can help you understand where your company stands with both authorities.

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

Yes, a confirmation statement is normally still required for a dormant company. It is a separate filing from the annual accounts and is used to confirm that Companies House has up-to-date information about the company. Dormant status does not remove this obligation. We can assist with preparing and submitting the confirmation statement when it is due.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

To prepare dormant company accounts, we will generally need the company’s name and registered number, company status details, director and shareholder information, and confirmation that no significant accounting transactions occurred during the accounting period. We may also ask about any activity that could affect dormancy, because it affects how the accounts should be prepared. You will be asked to review and approve the accounts before they are filed.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If a company files its annual accounts after the Companies House deadline, a late-filing penalty may be issued. The amount depends on how late the filing is, and dormant companies are not automatically protected from penalties. If you have outstanding accounts, the best course is to prepare and file them as soon as possible. We can help you with this and, if you believe a penalty has been issued incorrectly, advise on the appeal position in light of Companies House rules.

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

Yes. If your company has missed one or more annual accounts deadlines, our team can assist with bringing the required dormant company accounts and other filings up to date. We begin by checking the company’s record with Companies House, then prepare the necessary documents for your approval before submission. Acting promptly is important when accounts are overdue, and we will support you through the process.
