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.

 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 a Company File Dormant Company Accounts?

A company is generally considered dormant for Companies House purposes if it has no significant accounting transactions during the relevant period. That definition is precise, and dormancy is not simply about having no sales or no trading activity. For example, a company that has stopped trading, a newly formed company that has not yet started its intended business, or a holding company that has no income or expenditure, may be eligible to file dormant accounts. However, dormancy depends on the company’s individual circumstances and the specific rules that apply to its accounting period. It is also important to understand that a company can be dormant for Companies House purposes but still have obligations to HMRC for Corporation Tax. If a company is also considered dormant for Corporation Tax purposes, HMRC may need to be notified, and the requirement to file Corporation Tax Returns may stop once HMRC confirms no further returns are needed. Filing dormant company accounts with Companies House does not automatically notify HMRC, and a confirmation statement may still be required to keep company information up to date. Our accountants can help you determine whether your company qualifies as dormant and identify the filings that apply to your situation.

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 annual accounts that are prepared for a company which is dormant for Companies House purposes during the relevant accounting period. These accounts are filed with Companies House to meet the company’s annual filing obligation, but they contain only the limited disclosures required for a dormant entity. They are not a substitute for a Corporation Tax Return, which is a separate matter for HMRC. At Micro Entity Accounts, we ensure the accounts are prepared correctly and reflect the company’s true dormant status.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, in most cases. Dormant status does not automatically remove a company’s obligation to file annual accounts with Companies House. Unless a specific exemption applies, a dormant company must still prepare and file accounts each year. Our role is to help you confirm which filing obligation applies and to prepare the accounts in line with the relevant statutory framework.

What is the difference between 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 because it has no significant accounting transactions, yet still be active for Corporation Tax purposes. HMRCu2019s definition relates to the company’s Corporation Tax position, and a separate notification to HMRC is required if the company is also dormant for Corporation Tax. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not alone tell HMRC that the company is dormant.

Does a dormant company still need a confirmation statement?

Yes, a confirmation statement is a separate requirement from annual accounts. Even if your company is dormant, you will generally need to submit an annual confirmation statement to Companies House to confirm that the company’s registered details are accurate. This keeps the company’s public record up to date and is not replaced by filing dormant accounts.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If a dormant company fails to file its required accounts by the relevant deadline, Companies House may issue a late-filing penalty. The amount of any penalty depends on how late the accounts are filed, and dormancy does not automatically excuse the company from this consequence. If you have overdue accounts, it is important to address them promptly. We can assist you in bringing your filing obligations up to date, but we cannot guarantee that any penalty will be reduced or cancelled.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

To prepare dormant company accounts, we generally need details of the company’s registered office, its directors and shareholders, and confirmation that there have been no significant accounting transactions during the period. We also need to know whether the company has previously filed accounts and whether it qualifies for any particular reporting framework. Our accountants will guide you on the specific information required and ensure the accounts are prepared in accordance with Companies House rules.

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

Yes, we can assist directors of eligible dormant companies with overdue accounts that need to be filed. We will review the company’s history, identify the periods for which accounts are outstanding, and prepare the necessary dormant accounts for submission to Companies House. We can also help you understand the steps needed to get the company back into compliance, although we cannot guarantee that Companies House or HMRC will accept particular representations or that penalties will be removed.

Ready to Put Your Dormant Company Accounts in Order?

At Micro Entity Accounts, we understand that dealing with dormant company accounts can raise questions about Companies House, HMRC and the exact obligations that remain.
