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 You File Dormant Company Accounts in Polegate?

A company is typically considered dormant for Companies House purposes if it has had no significant accounting transactions during the relevant financial year. That may include a newly formed company that has not yet started trading, a company that has stopped operating, or a holding company with no income or expenditure. However, a company is not dormant simply because it has no sales or is not currently trading; the rules depend on the company’s circumstances and the relevant accounting requirements. Even when a company meets the dormancy definition, there is no automatic exemption from every filing obligation. A dormant company will generally still need to file the required annual accounts with Companies House, and it must also keep its register and records up to date. Being dormant for Companies House is not the same as being dormant for HMRC and Corporation Tax purposes. Our accountants can help you work out which obligations apply, prepare any required dormant company accounts and guide you through the process.

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 is dormant for accounting purposes. They summarise the company's financial position, often on a simplified basis, and are filed with Companies House to satisfy the annual accounts requirement. The exact format depends on the company's eligibility and the reporting framework that applies.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, in most cases. A dormant company generally still needs to deliver annual accounts to Companies House because dormancy does not remove the statutory requirement to file. There may be exemptions in very limited circumstances, but these depend on the type of company and its status. We can review the circumstances to confirm what needs to be filed.

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

The tests are different. Dormant for Companies House concerns whether the company had no significant accounting transactions for the purpose of filing annual accounts. Dormant for HMRC concerns Corporation Tax and whether the company has notified HMRC that it is inactive. Filing dormant accounts at Companies House does not automatically tell HMRC that a company is dormant for Corporation Tax.

Does a dormant company need to submit a confirmation statement?

A confirmation statement is separate from annual accounts. A dormant company is normally still required to submit a confirmation statement to Companies House and ensure its registered office, directors and shareholders are correctly recorded. We help ensure this statutory process is not missed.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may also qualify as micro-entities and be able to use the micro-entity reporting framework. This depends on the eligibility criteria, including turnover, balance sheet and employee thresholds. Dormancy and micro-entity status are not the same thing, and we can determine which accounts format applies to the company.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If a dormant company misses the Companies House filing deadline for its annual accounts, it may face automatic late-filing penalties, even if the company has not traded. Filing late also creates an outstanding compliance issue. Where accounts are already overdue, we can help bring the filing up to date and, where appropriate, discuss the situation with Companies House.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

To prepare dormant accounts, we usually need confirmation of the company's registered information, details of any transactions during the year and access to previous accounting records if available. We also review the company's balance sheet and any earlier filed accounts to ensure consistency and accuracy.
