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 a Company File Dormant Accounts in Radstock?

A company can only file dormant accounts with Companies House if it meets the relevant dormancy criteria. In broad terms, a company is dormant for accounting purposes if it has no significant accounting transactions during the financial year, though the exact rules are set out in company law and depend on the company’s circumstances. This could apply to a newly incorporated company that has not yet started trading, a company that has ceased trading and notified HMRC accordingly, or a holding company with no significant transactions. However, dormancy is not automatic, and a company should not assume it is dormant simply because it has no turnover or is not active. Even if a company is dormant for Companies House purposes, it generally still needs to file annual accounts unless a specific exemption applies, and it may also need to submit a confirmation statement. It is also important to understand that Companies House and HMRC treat dormancy differently: a company may be dormant for Companies House but still be within the scope of Corporation Tax, or it may be dormant for Corporation Tax yet still have annual accounts obligations. A qualified accountant can review your position and confirm whether dormant company accounts are appropriate for your Radstock company.

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 annual accounts prepared for a limited company that is dormant for Companies House purposes. They are filed with Companies House as part of the company's statutory reporting obligations. Dormant company accounts generally contain a balance sheet and certain notes, but they have simplified filing requirements compared with full annual accounts. The exact format will depend on the company's circumstances and whether it qualifies as a micro-entity.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, in most cases. A dormant company is generally required to file annual accounts with Companies House, even if it has no trading activity. A company cannot simply ignore its filing obligations because it is dormant. The requirement to file accounts may continue until the company is formally dissolved or a specific exemption applies. Filing dormant accounts does not exempt a company from its annual confirmation statement or any Corporation Tax obligations it may have.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may also qualify as micro-entities and can prepare accounts under the micro-entity reporting framework, sometimes referred to as FRS 105. However, dormancy and micro-entity status are not the same. Eligibility depends on the company's size, legal structure and other criteria set out in company law. A dormant company may be able to file simpler accounts if it qualifies under both regimes. We can help determine the most appropriate reporting framework for your Radstock company.

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

Companies House and HMRC have separate definitions and requirements. A company can be dormant for Companies House purposes if it meets the accounting dormancy rules, and this affects its annual accounts filing. For HMRC, a company is treated as dormant for Corporation Tax if it has no income or other chargeable activity. A company may need to notify HMRC separately to be treated as dormant for Corporation Tax, and it may still need to file Corporation Tax Returns until HMRC confirms otherwise. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically tell HMRC the company is dormant.

Does a dormant company still need a confirmation statement?

Yes. A confirmation statement is a separate Companies House filing from dormant company accounts, and it must be submitted at least once a year for every active company on the register, including dormant ones. It confirms that the company's registered details, such as directors, registered office and share capital, are up to date. Dormant status does not remove the requirement to file a confirmation statement.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

To prepare dormant company accounts, we typically need the company's details, including the company number, registered office, directors and shareholders, as well as the accounting reference date. We also need to confirm that the company meets the relevant dormancy criteria. If any transactions have taken place, we may need bank statements or other records to ensure the accounts are accurate. We will guide you on the minimal information required so the accounts can be prepared efficiently.

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

Yes. If your Radstock company has missed its Companies House filing deadline for dormant accounts, we can assist in bringing the filings up to date. Filing overdue accounts as soon as possible can help limit further issues, though late-filing penalties may still apply. Company directors may be able to appeal a penalty in certain circumstances, but this depends on the company's specific situation and applicable Companies House rules. We can review your filing history and help prepare the outstanding accounts.
