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 in Oxford Road?

A company can file dormant accounts when it qualifies as dormant under the relevant Companies House rules. In broad terms, a company is dormant for Companies House purposes if it has had no significant accounting transactions during the accounting period. That may include companies that have not yet traded, companies that have stopped trading, or companies that have been kept for future use. However, dormancy is not simply the absence of sales or activity — you need to look at the company’s specific transactions and the statutory requirements. Being dormant for Companies House does not remove the need to file annual accounts, nor does it replace other obligations such as the confirmation statement or your Corporation Tax position with HMRC. HMRC has its own definition of dormancy for Corporation Tax, which is handled separately. If you are unsure whether your company meets the criteria, we can review your circumstances and advise on whether dormant accounts are appropriate.

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 Companies House purposes. A dormant company is generally one that has had no significant accounting transactions during its accounting period. These accounts are filed with Companies House and must meet the applicable legal requirements, even though there is often less detail to include than in accounts for a trading company.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, in most cases. Unless a specific exemption applies, a dormant company must prepare and file annual accounts with Companies House. You cannot ignore the requirement simply because the company has no trading activity. Late filing can lead to penalties and other consequences, so it is important to meet the statutory deadline.

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

Dormancy for Companies House concerns whether the company has had significant accounting transactions during the accounting period. Dormancy for Corporation Tax, on the other hand, depends on whether the company has taxable income or gains in the view of HMRC. They are separate concepts, involve different definitions and require separate filings or notifications. A company might be dormant for Companies House but still need to deal with HMRC regarding Corporation Tax.

Does a dormant company still need a confirmation statement?

Yes. A confirmation statement is a separate filing that active companies must submit to Companies House at least once a year. It confirms the company’s registered office, directors, shareholders and other statutory information. Filing dormant company accounts does not take the place of the confirmation statement. The confirmation statement must be filed even if the company is dormant.

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

Not necessarily, but it depends on HMRCu2019s rules and the company’s circumstances. If the company is dormant for Corporation Tax and HMRC has been notified, HMRC may agree that no further Corporation Tax Returns are required. However, filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically tell HMRC about the company’s Corporation Tax position. You may still need to send HMRC a notice or complete a CT600 for the relevant period unless HMRC confirms otherwise.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

Late filing of dormant company accounts can result in Companies House imposing late-filing penalties. The amount depends on how late the accounts are and is applied automatically. If your accounts are overdue, it is important to file them without further delay. We can help prepare the outstanding accounts and submit them to Companies House to bring your record up to date.

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

Yes. We assist companies in Oxford Road that have fallen behind with their Companies House filings. We can prepare dormant company accounts for each relevant period, arrange for director approval and file the accounts with Companies House. We can also help you understand what other filings are needed, such as a confirmation statement or any Corporation Tax notifications, so that your company can return to a compliant position.
