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.

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 Maidstone Kent?

A company may be able to file dormant company accounts if it has had no significant accounting transactions during the relevant period. This might apply to a company that has not yet started trading, a company that has stopped trading, or a company retained for future use. Importantly, a company is not dormant simply because it has no sales or is not currently trading – dormancy under the Companies House rules depends on the company’s specific activities and circumstances. Being dormant for Companies House purposes also does not remove the need to file the required annual accounts, and a confirmation statement may still be due. In addition, a company that is dormant for Companies House purposes may not automatically be dormant for HMRC Corporation Tax purposes – the two positions are separate. If you are unsure whether dormant company accounts are right for your company in Maidstone Kent, we can review your circumstances and explain what applies.

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 the annual accounts prepared for a limited company that is dormant for Companies House purposes. They are filed with Companies House to satisfy the company's annual reporting requirements. In many cases, a dormant company can meet its obligations by filing accounts that confirm no significant accounting transactions took place during the period. However, dormancy is specific to the company's circumstances, and a dormant company is still expected to file the required accounts unless a specific exemption applies. Our accountants can help you prepare dormant company accounts in Maidstone Kent and submit them correctly.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts with Companies House?

Yes. There is no general exemption from filing accounts simply because a company is dormant. A dormant company will still need to file its annual accounts with Companies House, usually as dormant company accounts. The accounts may be simpler than those of an active company, but the filing obligation remains. Our team can prepare and submit the accounts on your behalf.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

A dormant company may also qualify as a micro-entity under the applicable eligibility criteria, but dormant status and micro-entity status are not the same thing. If a dormant company qualifies, the accounts may be prepared using the micro-entity framework, which is a more simplified reporting framework. Eligibility depends on the company's size, legal structure and accounting period. We can review your company's position and determine which reporting framework applies.

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

Companies House and HMRC have separate frameworks for dormancy. A company might be dormant for Companies House purposes if it has no significant accounting transactions, but HMRC's Corporation Tax treatment is different. A company that is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes may need to notify HMRC and may not need to file further Corporation Tax Returns once HMRC has confirmed that returns are no longer required. Filing dormant company accounts with Companies House does not automatically notify HMRC. If you are unsure how both sets of rules affect your company in Maidstone Kent, we can explain the position.

Does a dormant company need to submit a confirmation statement?

Yes, a confirmation statement is usually still required. The confirmation statement is separate from dormant company accounts and must be submitted to Companies House even if the company is dormant. It confirms the company's registered office, directors, shareholders and other key information. Keeping this information up to date helps maintain the company's filing record. We can assist with the preparation and filing of confirmation statements alongside your dormant company accounts.

Does a dormant company need to file a Corporation Tax Return?

Not necessarily. Whether a dormant company needs to file a Corporation Tax Return depends on its Corporation Tax position and whether HMRC has been notified that the company is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes. If HMRC confirms that no further returns are required, then the company may not need to submit CT600 returns in future. However, this is not automatic, and a company should consider its obligations carefully. We can help you communicate with HMRC and understand what applies.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

A dormant company will need basic company information such as the company name, company registration number, registered office address and details of directors and shareholders. We will also review whether there have been any significant accounting transactions during the period, and we may require information about share capital or other matters set out in the accounts. If your company is dormant but is still required to file, we can gather the relevant details and prepare the accounts for Companies House submission.

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

Yes. If your company has missed its filing deadline for dormant company accounts, it is important to address the situation as soon as possible. A dormant company can still face late-filing consequences if required accounts are not filed by the applicable deadline. We can review the company's filing history, prepare the overdue accounts and help you file them with Companies House. We cannot guarantee the outcome of any penalty appeal, but we can explain the options available based on your circumstances.
