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 can file dormant company accounts when it has had no significant accounting transactions during the financial year, in line with the Companies Act rules. That generally means no receipts, payments, or other business activity that would normally be entered into the accounts. However, dormancy is not simply the same as having no sales or no employees. For example, a newly incorporated company that has never traded may still need to file dormant annual accounts, depending on its circumstances. Similarly, a company that has stopped trading may remain dormant for Companies House purposes, but it still has to deliver the required accounts. Even where dormant company accounts are filed, the company may still need to submit a confirmation statement separately. The rules for Corporation Tax are different: a company must be separately regarded as dormant for Corporation Tax purposes by HMRC, and that position depends on factors such as whether the company has already notified HMRC that it is dormant and whether a Corporation Tax return is still required. Our team can help you understand whether dormant company accounts are available to your company and what filing obligations continue to apply.

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 annual accounts prepared for a company that is dormant for accounting purposes. They are filed with Companies House to satisfy the annual accounts filing obligation in a simplified way. A company is usually considered dormant for Companies House if it has no significant accounting transactions in the financial year. Dormant accounts still need to accurately reflect the company's position and be delivered on time. Even if the company is dormant, the directors must ensure the accounts meet the legal requirements.

Does a dormant company still have to file accounts?

Yes, in most cases. There is no automatic exemption from filing annual accounts simply because a company is dormant. A dormant company generally must send its required annual accounts to Companies House each year unless a specific exemption applies. Providing no accounts could lead to late-filing penalties and other consequences. It is important to check the company's specific circumstances to confirm whether dormant company accounts are due.

Is being dormant for Companies House the same as being dormant for HMRC?

No. Being dormant for Companies House affects how a company reports its annual accounts. Being dormant for Corporation Tax purposes is a separate matter and is determined by HMRC. A company may be dormant for Companies House but still need to file Corporation Tax returns, or it may be dormant for both. If a company is dormant for Corporation Tax, it must tell HMRC and may not need to file further Corporation Tax returns once HMRC has confirmed that a return is no longer required. Filing dormant company accounts with Companies House does not automatically notify HMRC of anything.

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

Yes, a confirmation statement is separate from annual accounts. Even if a company files dormant company accounts, it must generally continue to deliver confirmation statements to Companies House to keep its registered information up to date. The confirmation statement is not part of the annual accounts and cannot be replaced by them. Our accountants can assist with both obligations so your company records stay compliant.

Can an eligible dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

It depends on the company's eligibility. Some dormant companies may qualify as micro-entities and therefore be able to use the micro-entity accounting framework, whereas others may not. Micro-entity status is not automatic and is not the same as dormancy. The company must meet the applicable qualifying conditions for micro-entity reporting. Our team will review the company's position and prepare the relevant accounts under the appropriate reporting framework.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

Late filing penalties can be imposed by Companies House if dormant company accounts are not delivered by the relevant deadline. The amount of any penalty depends on how late the accounts are filed. Filing dormant accounts late does not remove the requirement to file the outstanding accounts, and a penalty may continue to apply if the filing remains overdue. In some circumstances, an appeal may be possible, but that depends on the specific facts and the applicable Companies House rules.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

We typically need the company's details, including its company number, registered office, date of incorporation, and information about directors and shareholders. We may also need to see whether there have been any transactions such as incorporation fees, share issuances, or other entries in the balance sheet. Even for a dormant company, any changes in share capital or other statutory events can affect the accounts. We'll guide you on exactly what's needed to prepare and file the accounts correctly.
