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.

When are dormant company accounts appropriate for your Redditch company?

A company may be able to file dormant accounts if it has not had any significant accounting transactions during the relevant period. However, dormancy is not determined simply by low turnover or by having no active trading. The applicable Companies House rules depend on the company’s specific circumstances, and a company that is dormant for Companies House purposes may still have filing obligations. In addition, being dormant for Companies House purposes is not the same as being dormant for Corporation Tax with HMRC. A dormant company generally still needs to file its annual accounts if required and keep its confirmation statement up to date. We can help you understand whether your company qualifies for dormant treatment and what you need to file.

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.

What are dormant company accounts?

Dormant company accounts are annual accounts prepared for a company that qualifies as dormant under Companies House rules. This generally means the company has had no significant accounting transactions during the period, such as income or expenditure other than certain permitted payments. Dormant accounts are filed with Companies House to meet the company's annual statutory filing obligation. Even if the company is dormant, the accounts must still be prepared in accordance with the applicable requirements.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, generally. A dormant company must still file its annual accounts with Companies House unless a specific exemption applies. Dormancy does not remove the filing obligation. The format and level of detail may be simpler than for a fully trading company, but the accounts still need to be prepared and submitted by the appropriate deadline.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may be eligible for the micro-entity reporting framework, which allows for simplified annual accounts. Eligibility depends on the company's size and whether it meets the statutory criteria. Dormancy and micro-entity status are separate matters, so the company's circumstances must be reviewed before deciding which reporting framework applies.

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

Being dormant for Companies House purposes relates to the annual accounts and confirmation statement obligations. HMRC treats dormancy differently for Corporation Tax. A company that is dormant for Corporation Tax may need to notify HMRC, and HMRC may not require further Corporation Tax Returns once it confirms this. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically tell HMRC about the company's Corporation Tax position. Both sets of obligations need to be considered separately.

Does a dormant company still need a confirmation statement?

Yes. Every company, including a dormant company, must submit a confirmation statement to Companies House at least once every 12 months. It is a separate filing from the annual accounts and confirms that Companies House has up-to-date information about the company, such as its registered office and directors. You cannot submit dormant accounts instead of the confirmation statement.

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

This depends on HMRC's rules and the company's individual circumstances. If a company is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes, HMRC may confirm that it does not need to file further Corporation Tax Returns, but the company must usually notify HMRC first. If the company is still within the Corporation Tax regime, it may still be required to file a return. We can help you review your position and communicate with HMRC appropriately.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If the required annual accounts are filed late, Companies House may issue a late-filing penalty, even if the company was dormant. The penalty amount can vary depending on the specifics and is not automatically waived because of dormant status. If the accounts are already overdue, filing them promptly can help put the company back on a compliant footing. You may also be able to appeal a penalty depending on the circumstances.
