 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 Are Dormant Company Accounts Required in New Mills?

A company is generally regarded as dormant for Companies House purposes when it has no significant accounting transactions during the period. This often applies to newly formed companies that have not yet started trading, companies that have stopped trading, or holding companies that only hold assets without generating income. It is important to note that dormancy is not automatic and does not mean your company has no filing obligations. In most cases, a dormant company must still prepare and file annual accounts with Companies House, and you may also need to submit a confirmation statement. HMRC’s rules for Corporation Tax dormancy are separate, so you should not assume that filing dormant accounts with Companies House tells HMRC your company is dormant. We can review your specific circumstances and explain what applies 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.

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 qualifies as dormant under the Companies Act. They record that the company had no significant accounting transactions during the accounting period and must be filed with Companies House if the company is required to prepare accounts. The accounts may benefit from certain reporting exemptions, but they are still a statutory obligation in most cases.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, in most cases. Even if your company is dormant for Companies House purposes, you must still prepare and file annual accounts unless a specific exemption applies. Companies House typically requires the accounts to be filed each year, along with the confirmation statement, even if the company has never traded. The filing requirements depend on the company's status and the length of its accounting period. We recommend checking whether your company qualifies for any exemptions before assuming that no accounts are needed.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may also qualify as micro-entities and can prepare their accounts using the micro-entity reporting framework, which is the simplest available. However, not every dormant company automatically qualifies. Eligibility depends on factors such as the company's size and whether it meets the statutory conditions for a micro-entity. If your company qualifies, it may be able to file a simpler balance sheet and benefit from reduced disclosure requirements. We can help determine whether micro-entity accounts are available to your dormant company.

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

Being dormant for Companies House is about the company's accounting status and means it has no significant accounting transactions. Being dormant for Corporation Tax with HMRC is a separate matter. HMRC's definition and requirements can differ, and a company must notify HMRC if it wants to be treated as dormant for Corporation Tax. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically inform HMRC that the company is dormant. It is important to deal with both obligations separately to avoid compliance issues.

Does a dormant company still need a confirmation statement?

Yes, unless a specific exemption applies. A confirmation statement is filed with Companies House and is separate from annual accounts. It is used to confirm that the company's registered information is up to date, including details of directors, shareholders and registered office. Filing dormant accounts does not replace the confirmation statement. Most dormant companies will need to file a confirmation statement at least once a year.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

Late filing of dormant company accounts can result in late-filing penalties from Companies House. The amount of any penalty depends on how late the accounts are filed, and dormancy does not automatically protect a company from these consequences. If you have not filed on time, it is important to seek help as soon as possible. We can assist with preparing and filing the outstanding accounts, and in appropriate cases we can help you consider whether a penalty appeal is suitable, but we cannot guarantee the outcome.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

The information required will depend on the company's circumstances and the reporting framework used. Generally, we need company details such as the company number, registered office address, directors' names and share capital structure. We also need to confirm that there have been no significant accounting transactions during the period and that the company meets the relevant dormancy criteria. Once we have these details, we can prepare the dormant accounts and file them with Companies House as required.

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

Yes. If your company has fallen behind with its filing obligations, we can review the position and prepare the outstanding dormant company accounts. We can also help you submit any necessary confirmation statements and advise on the process of bringing Companies House filing up to date. If late-filing penalties have been issued, we can discuss the circumstances and assist you in understanding your options, although the final decision on penalties rests with Companies House.
