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.

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 an Okehampton Company File Dormant Accounts?

A company can often be treated as dormant for Companies House purposes when it has had no significant accounting transactions in the relevant period. That definition can include a newly incorporated company that has not yet started trading, a company that has stopped trading, a holding company or a company kept alive for future use. However, dormancy does not depend simply on whether the business has sales, customers or employees. We review each company’s individual circumstances and compare them with the applicable accounting rules before deciding whether dormant accounts are appropriate. It is also worth remembering that HMRC uses a separate test for Corporation Tax dormancy, so we can help you understand the difference and confirm what needs to be filed where.

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 for Companies House purposes. They are designed to confirm that the company has no significant accounting transactions for the period covered, although certain limited items such as filing fees may still need to be reflected. Dormant accounts are separate from confirmation statements and Corporation Tax Returns, so it is important to understand exactly what applies to your company.

Does a dormant company in Okehampton still need to file accounts?

Yes, in most cases. The fact that a company is dormant does not automatically remove its obligation to file annual accounts with Companies House. Unless a specific exemption applies, directors must still ensure that the appropriate accounts are prepared and submitted by the statutory deadline. We can help you assess whether your company qualifies for dormant accounts and then prepare and file the required documents correctly.

Can a company that has never traded file dormant accounts?

A company that has never traded may be able to file dormant accounts if it meets the Companies House dormancy definition. That will depend on whether it has had any reportable accounting transactions since incorporation and on the company's particular circumstances. Even then, the directors normally remain responsible for filing accounts and a confirmation statement, so it is worth taking advice if you are unsure about your company's position.

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

For Companies House, dormancy is focused on whether the company has significant accounting transactions. HMRC takes a separate view for Corporation Tax purposes, looking at the company's tax position and any notifications it has sent about its status. A company can be dormant for Companies House yet still have open Corporation Tax matters with HMRC, so filing dormant accounts does not automatically end your Corporation Tax obligations unless HMRC has confirmed otherwise.

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

Usually, yes. A confirmation statement is a different Companies House filing from dormant company accounts. It updates details such as directors, registered office and share capital, and it is normally required every year unless a company is exempt. Even a dormant company must generally keep its information up to date, so we can help you prepare this filing alongside your accounts if needed.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If a required set of dormant accounts is not filed by the applicable Companies House deadline, the company may face a late-filing penalty. Dormant status does not automatically protect a company from such penalties, and the amount can vary depending on how late the accounts arrive. If you have missed a deadline, it is important to file the outstanding accounts as soon as possible and consider whether circumstances support an appeal.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

To prepare the accounts we normally need the company name, registration number, registered office details, director information and details of any transactions or share movements during the period. If the company has no reportable transactions, the accounts will reflect that, but the exact disclosure requirements depend on the company's structure and whether it qualifies for micro-entity or other simplified reporting rules. A short review of your records will help us confirm the correct approach.
