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 Dormant Company Accounts Be Filed?

For a company in Northland to be regarded as dormant for Companies House purposes, it must normally have no significant accounting transactions during the relevant period. Companies that have not yet begun to trade, have stopped trading, or are held as a property or investment vehicle may qualify, but dormancy is not automatic simply because the company has no sales. Even when a company is dormant for Companies House, it generally still has to file annual accounts and may need to submit a confirmation statement. HMRC’s Corporation Tax definition of dormancy is separate, and a company dormant for Companies House may still have Corporation Tax responsibilities. If you are unsure whether your company meets the criteria, we can review the circumstances and advise on the correct approach.

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 the annual accounts that a company prepares and files with Companies House when it has no significant accounting transactions in an accounting period. They are designed to confirm the company's dormant status while still meeting its statutory filing obligation. Filing dormant accounts does not stop the company from being registered, and the company remains subject to other responsibilities such as delivering a confirmation statement.

Does a dormant company still need to file annual accounts?

In most cases, yes. A company that is dormant for Companies House purposes still has to file annual accounts unless it qualifies for a specific exemption, such as the exemption available to certain wholly owned subsidiaries. The accounts are usually simpler, but the deadline still applies. Our team can confirm whether your company is required to file and help you prepare the relevant documentation.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies can file micro-entity accounts if they qualify under the micro-entity criteria in the Companies Act. Eligibility is based on the company's size, structure and accounting period, so dormancy alone does not automatically make a company a micro-entity. We can check the company's qualifications and prepare the correct form of accounts.

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

Companies House and HMRC apply different tests for dormancy. A company may be dormant for Companies House if it has no significant accounting transactions, while HMRC's dormancy rules relate to Corporation Tax and whether the company has any taxable activity. It is possible for a company to be dormant for Companies House but still have Corporation Tax obligations. If the company is dormant for Corporation Tax, HMRC may need to be notified to stop Corporation Tax Returns, but this depends on the circumstances.

Does a dormant company need to submit a confirmation statement?

Yes. A confirmation statement is a separate filing with Companies House that confirms the company's registered details are correct. Dormant companies are generally required to deliver a confirmation statement at least once every 12 months. Filing dormant accounts does not replace this statement, and directors are responsible for keeping the company's information up to date.

Can you prepare dormant company accounts for a company that has never traded?

We can. A company that has never started trading can often prepare dormant accounts if it meets the Companies House dormancy criteria. We will review the company's record to ensure there have been no significant transactions, and we will prepare the accounts so that the company can meet its filing obligations. A company that has never traded still needs to follow the correct process.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If dormant accounts are filed after the Companies House deadline, the company may receive a late-filing penalty. Dormant status does not automatically protect a company from penalties. The penalty amount depends on how late the accounts are and the company's filing history. If you have a reasonable excuse, you may be able to appeal. We can assist in preparing outstanding accounts and advise on next steps.
