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 Is a Company Considered Dormant for Dormant Company Accounts in Makerfield?

A company is generally dormant for Companies House purposes if it has no significant accounting transactions during the relevant period. This may include companies that have not yet started trading, have stopped trading, or are held as a holding or property company with no active business. However, dormancy depends on the specific rules and your company’s circumstances. Being dormant does not automatically remove your obligation to file annual accounts or submit a confirmation statement. It is also important to distinguish between Companies House dormancy and HMRC dormancy for Corporation Tax; these are separate tests. We can help you determine whether dormant company accounts are appropriate and what filing obligations still apply to your company.

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 annual accounts prepared for a company that has not had any significant accounting transactions during the accounting period. They are filed with Companies House to satisfy the company's statutory filing requirement. Even if the company is dormant, the accounts must still be prepared and filed unless a specific exemption applies.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, generally a dormant company must still file annual accounts with Companies House, unless it is entitled to a specific exemption. Dormant status does not remove the filing obligation. You also need to keep your company information up to date and submit a confirmation statement when required. Our team can assist with preparing and filing the necessary documents.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may qualify as micro-entities under the Companies Act and can use the micro-entity reporting framework. This is subject to eligibility criteria such as the company's size and legal structure. Dormancy and micro-entity status are separate concepts. We can review your company's circumstances to confirm whether micro-entity accounts are available and applicable.

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

Being dormant for Companies House purposes means the company has no significant accounting transactions, and annual accounts may be prepared on a simplified basis. HMRC's dormancy for Corporation Tax purposes is different and relates to whether the company has any taxable income or chargeable activity. HMRC may require a Corporation Tax Return even if the company is dormant for Companies House, depending on the circumstances. Acting for HMRC and Companies House are separate and you should seek professional advice to understand your specific obligations.

Does a dormant company still need a confirmation statement?

Yes, a confirmation statement is separate from dormant company accounts. A dormant company is usually still required to submit a confirmation statement to Companies House at least once every 12 months, unless it is exempt. The confirmation statement confirms that the registered details are correct, including directors, shareholders and registered office. Filing dormant accounts does not replace the confirmation statement.

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

A company that is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes may need to notify HMRC and, once HMRC has confirmed that no further returns are required, may not need to file a CT600 in future periods. This only applies if the company is genuinely dormant for Corporation Tax. If you are unsure whether your company needs to submit a Corporation Tax Return or notify HMRC, we can review your circumstances and guide you accordingly.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

To prepare dormant company accounts we typically need company details such as the legal name, registration number, registered office, and accounting period. We also review whether there have been any transactions that would prevent dormant status, such as bank interest or director's loans. We will request any necessary documentation to confirm dormancy and prepare accounts that meet the applicable Companies House requirements.

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

Yes, we can help companies in Makerfield bring overdue dormant company accounts up to date. If your company has missed filing deadlines, it is important to address the filings as soon as possible because late-filing penalties can apply. Dormant status does not automatically protect a company from penalties. We can prepare and file the outstanding accounts and assist with showing your company was dormant during the relevant periods, but we cannot guarantee acceptance or penalty removal.

Simplify Your Dormant Company Compliance

At Micro Entity Accounts, we understand that directors of dormant companies often feel uncertain about their ongoing filing obligations. Whether you need assistance preparing and filing dormant company accounts, understanding confirmation statement requirements, or checking whether HMRC still expects Corporation Tax Returns, we are here to help. Our simple fixed-fee pricing and transparent service mean you can stay compliant without unnecessary stress. Contact our team in Makerfield today to discuss your dormant company accounts.
