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 in Littleborough?

A company is generally considered dormant for Companies House purposes if it has not had significant accounting transactions during the accounting period. That does not automatically mean you can ignore your annual accounts – most dormant companies must still deliver accounts to Companies House unless a specific exemption applies. Dormancy for Companies House is not the same as dormancy for HMRC’s Corporation Tax rules. A company in Littleborough might be dormant in one register but not the other. Before assuming your company qualifies as dormant, it is sensible to review your exact circumstances so that you understand which filings are needed and when.

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.

─── FAQs

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 statutory accounts prepared for a company that meets the definition of dormant under the Companies Act rules. They show that the company has not had significant accounting transactions during the period. These accounts are usually much simpler than full trading accounts, but they must still be filed with Companies House by the required deadline and comply with the applicable format.

Does a dormant company still need to file annual accounts?

Yes, in most cases. Being dormant for Companies House purposes does not remove the filing obligation; nearly every incorporated company must send annual accounts to Companies House each year. If you believe your company is exempt for a particular reason, we recommend checking with a qualified accountant rather than simply assuming no accounts are required.

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

Companies House and HMRC operate separate definitions of dormancy. For Companies House, a company is usually dormant when it has no significant accounting transactions during the accounting period. For HMRC, dormancy is linked to whether the company is inactive for Corporation Tax, such as having no taxable income or chargeable gains. A company may be dormant for Companies House but still need to deal with HMRC, and vice versa.

Can a dormant company use micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may also qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework, but the two are separate concepts. To file micro-entity accounts, the company must meet the eligibility conditions for a micro-entity and choose to apply the relevant financial reporting standard. A dormant company that does not qualify for micro-entity accounts can still file dormant company accounts in the prescribed form. We can help you determine which option applies to your company in Littleborough.

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

Yes. A confirmation statement is a separate filing with Companies House that confirms your registered details, directors, shareholders and other information. Filing dormant company accounts does not replace the confirmation statement. As long as your company remains on the register, you generally need to file a confirmation statement every year and keep Companies House updated.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

To prepare dormant company accounts, we usually need the company’s registration number, registered office address, details of directors and shareholders, and a copy of the most recent accounts if there are any. We also confirm that the company has had no significant accounting transactions during the period. If there are any transactions such as allotment of shares or unpaid loan balances, those need to be reviewed carefully.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

Dormant companies are subject to the same filing deadlines as any other company. If your annual accounts are sent to Companies House after the due date, a late-filing penalty may be issued. Penalties can apply even when the accounts are dormant accounts. Filing late does not remove the need to file, so it is important to deal with any overdue accounts as soon as possible. We can assist in preparing and submitting outstanding dormant company accounts.

With transparent pricing and no hidden costs, you can meet your statutory responsibilities with confidence. Contact us today to discuss your dormant company position.
