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.

Special thanks to Muhammad Saifullah for his assistance.

 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.

What Our Dormant Company Accounts Service Covers

Everything a non-trading limited company needs to stay compliant for the year, handled end to end by qualified UK accountants.

Dormant Company Accounts

We prepare the appropriate dormant company accounts for filing with Companies House, based on your company's circumstances and filing requirements.

Companies House Filing

We submit your dormant accounts electronically and send you written confirmation once they are accepted.

HMRC Corporation Tax Dormancy Support

We notify HMRC that your company is dormant for Corporation Tax, or file a nil CT600 where one has been requested.

Confirmation Statement Support

Optional preparation and filing of your annual confirmation statement so your record stays fully up to date.

Deadline Monitoring

We track your accounting reference date and remind you well before the filing deadline each year.

Accountant Review

A qualified accountant checks that your company genuinely qualifies as dormant before anything is submitted.

When Is It Appropriate to Prepare Dormant Company Accounts in Peterhead?

You may be able to prepare dormant company accounts if your company has had no significant accounting transactions in the period. Companies that have not yet started trading, have ceased trading, or are retained for future purposes can sometimes qualify, but dormancy is not automatic simply because there is no sales activity. Whether your company is dormant depends on the relevant Companies Act rules and your specific circumstances. Check with a qualified accountant before relying on dormant status. Being dormant for Companies House purposes is separate from being dormant for HMRC and Corporation Tax, so you should not assume that one automatically means the other.

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 prepared for a company that is dormant for accounting purposes during the relevant period. They show that the company had no significant accounting transactions, and they must meet Companies House requirements. Filing dormant accounts does not mean you can ignore the preparation of accounts altogether, and your company may still have other filing duties.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes. In most cases, a dormant company still needs to file annual accounts with Companies House, unless a specific exemption applies to your company. Dormant status does not automatically exempt you from filing requirements. You will usually need to file dormant accounts even if your company is not trading, and the accounts must be filed by the statutory deadline.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may also be micro-entities and can therefore prepare accounts using the micro-entity framework. But not every dormant company automatically qualifies as a micro-entity. Eligibility depends on your company's size, turnover, assets and other factors. You should only use this framework if your company meets the relevant requirements.

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

Dormancy for Companies House concerns your company's accounting requirements, while dormancy for HMRC relates to Corporation Tax. A company may be dormant for Companies House but still active for HMRC, or vice versa. HMRC has its own rules and approvals, so you must consider both sets of obligations separately. You may need to notify HMRC if your company becomes inactive for Corporation Tax, but filing dormant accounts does not automatically tell HMRC.

Does a dormant company still need a confirmation statement?

Yes. A confirmation statement is a separate filing requirement from your dormant company accounts. Unless your company is exempt, you must submit a confirmation statement to Companies House at least once every 12 months, even if the company is dormant. The confirmation statement confirms information such as your registered address, directors and shareholders.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

A dormant company can still incur late-filing penalties if its accounts are not submitted to Companies House by the applicable deadline. The penalty amount can depend on how late the filing is, and paying a penalty does not remove the need to file the outstanding accounts. If you have missed a filing, we can help you prepare and file the overdue dormant accounts, though we cannot guarantee that a penalty will be cancelled or reduced.
