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 a Company File Dormant Company Accounts?

A company may be able to file dormant company accounts when it meets the relevant dormancy criteria under the applicable accounting and Companies House rules. Generally, a company is dormant for accounts purposes if it has no significant accounting transactions during the accounting period. However, dormancy is not the same as having no sales or no current trading activity — it depends on the company’s specific circumstances and the regulatory definitions. A company that is dormant for Companies House purposes may still have filing obligations, including its annual accounts and confirmation statement. Dormancy for Corporation Tax purposes is determined separately by HMRC. If you are a director of a dormant limited company in Margate and are unsure whether dormant accounts are appropriate, we can review your situation and provide practical guidance.

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 prepared for a company that qualifies as dormant for the relevant accounting period. They are filed with Companies House where required and must meet the applicable statutory requirements. A company may be considered dormant if it has no significant accounting transactions during the year, but dormancy depends on the specific rules and your company’s individual circumstances. Preparing dormant company accounts correctly is part of meeting your statutory filing obligations if your company is required to file them.

Does a dormant company still need to file annual accounts?

Yes, in most cases a dormant company still needs to file its annual accounts with Companies House unless a specific exemption applies. Dormant status does not automatically remove your company’s filing obligations. Even if your company has had no significant transactions, you may still need to prepare and file accounts for each accounting period. A confirmation statement is also separate and will usually still be required. We can help you work out what your dormant company needs to file.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may be able to use the micro-entity reporting framework if they qualify as micro-entities, but this is not automatic for every dormant company. Eligibility depends on factors such as your company’s size, structure and the applicable accounting standards. If your dormant company qualifies, we can prepare and file micro-entity accounts using the appropriate framework. If it does not qualify, we will advise on the correct reporting basis for your company.

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

Dormancy for Companies House is assessed by looking at your company’s accounting transactions, while dormancy for Corporation Tax is determined separately by HMRC based on your company’s tax position. A company can be dormant for Companies House purposes but still have Corporation Tax obligations, so the two are not interchangeable. Filing dormant company accounts with Companies House does not tell HMRC that your company is dormant for tax purposes. We can help you understand which obligations apply to your company and take the appropriate steps with each authority.

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

Yes, a confirmation statement is separate from dormant company accounts. Even if your company is dormant for Companies House purposes, it generally still needs to submit a confirmation statement to confirm that its registered details are up to date. Dormant status does not remove this obligation. We can assist you with preparing and submitting your confirmation statement so your company remains compliant with Companies House.

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

It depends on your company’s Corporation Tax position. A company that is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes may need to notify HMRC, and once HMRC confirms that no further returns are required, it may not need to file CT600s for later periods. However, this only applies when the company meets HMRCu2019s criteria. If your company has previously traded or HMRC continues to expect returns, you may still need to file a Corporation Tax Return. We can help you determine what HMRC requires based on your company’s individual circumstances.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

To prepare your dormant company accounts, we generally need details such as your company’s legal name, registration number, registered office address and the dates of the accounting period. We also confirm that the company has had no significant transactions during the year and review its previous filing history to ensure consistency. If your company is eligible for a particular reporting framework, we will need enough information to confirm that eligibility. Our team will provide a clear checklist of what is required, so the process is straightforward.
