 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 in Malton?

A company is generally considered dormant for Companies House purposes if it has no significant accounting transactions during the financial year. This can include companies that have not yet started trading, companies that have stopped trading, holding companies, or companies retained for future use. However, being dormant for accounting purposes does not automatically remove every filing requirement. In most cases, a dormant company still needs to file annual accounts with Companies House, and it must also submit a confirmation statement when one is due. Dormancy for HMRC Corporation Tax purposes is a separate matter. A company that is dormant for Corporation Tax may be able to stop filing CT600 returns, but only after notifying HMRC and confirming that this treatment applies. Our team can help you understand whether your company qualifies and what obligations remain.

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 that an eligible company prepares and files with Companies House when it is dormant for accounting purposes. They are designed to meet the statutory filing requirement for a company that has no significant accounting transactions during the period. The accounts must still be prepared according to the relevant format, and depending on the company's size and eligibility, these can sometimes be submitted in a shortened format.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, in most cases a dormant company still needs to file annual accounts with Companies House. Dormancy does not remove the requirement to file accounts; it simply changes the information that may need to be provided. Certain exemptions may apply, but these depend on the company's circumstances and the applicable rules. It is important to check your specific filing duties to avoid late-filing penalties.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may also qualify as micro-entities under the Companies Act, allowing them to prepare and file micro-entity accounts. However, not every dormant company is automatically a micro-entity. Eligibility depends on the company's turnover, balance sheet total, and number of employees, so each company's position needs to be assessed. Where the company qualifies, the reporting framework can simplify the information required.

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

Being dormant for Companies House purposes relates to the company's accounting transactions and its obligation to file annual accounts. Being dormant for HMRC Corporation Tax purposes is a separate status, based on the company's Corporation Tax position and its chargeable activities. A company can be dormant for one purpose but not the other, and the filing requirements differ. Notifying HMRC and understanding your Corporation Tax obligations is essential.

Does a dormant company still need a confirmation statement?

Yes, a dormant company generally still needs to file a confirmation statement with Companies House at least once a year. The confirmation statement is separate from Dormant Company Accounts and confirms that the company's registered information is correct. Maintaining up-to-date company records is a legal requirement even when the company is dormant.

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

It depends on the company's Corporation Tax status. If the company is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes and HMRC has agreed that it no longer needs to file returns, then there may be no further CT600 requirement. However, this must be confirmed by HMRC. If the company is active for Corporation Tax purposes or has not notified HMRC, returns may still be required. We can help you review your position.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If a dormant company files its required accounts late with Companies House, it may receive a late-filing penalty. The amount of the penalty can vary depending on how late the accounts are and the company's filing history. Dormant company status does not automatically protect a company from these penalties, so it is important to meet the applicable deadline. If a penalty has already been issued, appealing may be possible depending on the circumstances.

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

Yes, we can assist with bringing overdue Dormant Company Accounts up to date for eligible companies in Malton. We can review your filing history, prepare the outstanding accounts where possible, and help you submit them to Companies House. We can also provide guidance on the steps needed to resolve past filing obligations. Each case depends on the company's circumstances, and we cannot remove penalties, but we can help you take the necessary corrective action.
