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.

The work was completed promptly, my tax return was successfully filed, and I received a refund of overpaid tax. I found the cooperation efficient and helpful. 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.

Companies House Filing

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

Accountant Review

When Can a Company File Dormant Accounts?

A company can generally be considered dormant for Companies House purposes if it has no significant accounting transactions during the accounting period. This might apply to a company that has not yet started trading, has stopped trading, or is being kept for a future project. However, dormancy does not simply mean having no sales or no current trading activity. A dormant company must also meet the applicable rules, and it still normally needs to file annual accounts with Companies House and may need to submit a confirmation statement. In addition, being dormant for Companies House is not the same as being dormant for HMRC Corporation Tax purposes. HMRC applies its own tests and procedures, so a company must consider both sets of obligations. We can review your company’s circumstances and confirm whether dormant company accounts are suitable.

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.

─── FAQs

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 accounts prepared for a limited company that is dormant for accounting purposes. They are filed with Companies House and show that the company had no significant accounting transactions during that period. They are distinct from a Corporation Tax Return and are only suitable where the company genuinely meets the relevant dormancy criteria.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, generally. A dormant company still needs to file its annual accounts with Companies House unless a specific exemption applies. Dormancy is not a reason to ignore the filing requirement, and missing the deadline can result in late-filing penalties. We can help you prepare and file the right accounts.

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

Companies House and HMRC treat dormancy separately. As far as Companies House is concerned, dormancy is about whether the company has had significant accounting transactions. HMRC's dormancy for Corporation Tax depends on the company's tax activity. A company might be dormant for Companies House but still have Corporation Tax obligations. If a company is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes, it may need to notify HMRC before any Corporation Tax Returns cease to be required.

Does a dormant company still need a confirmation statement?

Yes. A dormant company must still submit a confirmation statement to Companies House at least once every 12 months. This is a separate filing from the annual accounts and helps keep the company's registered information up to date. Directors should ensure this deadline is not missed even if the company is fully dormant.

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

It depends on the company's Corporation Tax position. If the company is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes, HMRC may accept that returns are no longer required once the company has notified HMRC and received confirmation. This is not automatic, so we recommend checking with a qualified accountant before assuming that no return is needed.

Can you prepare dormant accounts for a company that has never traded?

Yes, provided the company is eligible. A company that has never traded may be dormant if it has no significant accounting transactions. We can prepare dormant company accounts and file them with Companies House for eligible companies in Rathmell, so the company remains compliant without unnecessary paperwork.

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

If a company has missed its accounts filing deadline, dealing with it promptly is important. We can assist in preparing the outstanding dormant company accounts and filing them with Companies House. We cannot guarantee that any late-filing penalty will be reduced or removed, but we can explain the process and review your company's circumstances.
