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 You File Dormant Company Accounts?

A company may be considered dormant for Companies House purposes if it has had no significant accounting transactions during the relevant period. This can apply to companies that have not yet started trading, have stopped trading, or are held for future use. However, dormancy is not automatic and depends on your company’s particular circumstances and the relevant rules. Even if a company is dormant, it may still need to file Dormant Company Accounts and submit a confirmation statement. It is also important to distinguish between being dormant for Companies House and being dormant for HMRC Corporation Tax purposes. We can review your position and advise whether Dormant Company Accounts are appropriate for your Reading 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 company that is dormant for Companies House purposes. They reflect that the company had no significant accounting transactions during the period and must be filed with Companies House where required. The exact form and content will depend on the company's legal structure and eligibility for any simplified reporting framework.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts with Companies House?

Yes, in most cases a dormant company still needs to file the required annual accounts with Companies House unless a specific exemption applies. Dormant status does not automatically remove the filing obligation. Our accountants can prepare and file Dormant Company Accounts for your Reading company so you remain compliant.

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, but dormancy and micro-entity status are separate concepts. Eligibility depends on factors such as turnover, balance sheet total and headcount. We can assess your company's situation and explain which reporting rules apply.

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

Companies House and HMRC apply different definitions of dormancy. A company may be dormant for Companies House but still active for Corporation Tax, or the reverse. Filing Dormant Company Accounts with Companies House does not automatically inform HMRC of your company's dormant status. HMRC's requirements depend on the company's Corporation Tax position, and separate notification may be needed.

Does a dormant company need to submit a confirmation statement?

Yes, a confirmation statement is a separate annual requirement from Dormant Company Accounts. Most dormant companies must still submit a confirmation statement to Companies House to confirm their registered details are up to date. We can assist with preparing and filing confirmation statements for your Reading company.

What happens if Dormant Company Accounts are filed late?

If the required accounts are not submitted by the applicable deadline, Companies House may issue a late-filing penalty, even for dormant companies. The penalty amount will depend on the circumstances and the period of delay. Filing the outstanding accounts promptly is important, and we can help bring your company's filing history up to date.

What information is needed to prepare Dormant Company Accounts?

To prepare Dormant Company Accounts, we typically require the company's registered name and number, details of directors and shareholders, and confirmation that there have been no significant transactions during the period. We handle the guidance and can advise on the specific information needed for your Reading company.
