 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 Company Accounts?

Under the Companies Act, a company is generally considered dormant for accounting purposes if it has no significant accounting transactions during the period. This often applies to companies that have not started trading, have stopped trading, are holding companies, or have been kept for future use. However, dormancy is not automatic simply because a company has no sales — it depends on the nature of the company’s transactions and the relevant rules. A company can be dormant for Companies House purposes and still need to file annual accounts, unless a specific exemption applies. The test is different for Corporation Tax, so you should also consider whether HMRC treats your company as dormant for tax purposes. We can review your company’s circumstances to help you understand whether dormant accounts are appropriate 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.

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 annual accounts prepared for a company that is dormant for accounting purposes. They are filed with Companies House where required, and they show that the company has had no significant transactions during the accounting period. Preparing dormant accounts is a specific process, and a dormant company may still have filing obligations even though it is not actively trading.

Does a dormant company still need to file annual accounts?

Yes, in most cases a dormant company still needs to file annual accounts with Companies House unless it qualifies for a specific exemption. Dormant status does not remove the need to file statutory accounts, and a company that is dormant can still receive penalties for late filing. It is important to check the exact requirements that apply to your company.

Can a dormant company use micro-entity accounts?

If a dormant company meets the qualifying conditions to be a micro-entity, it may be able to use the micro-entity reporting framework for its accounts. This is separate from dormancy — not every dormant company is a micro-entity and not every micro-entity is dormant. We can confirm whether your company qualifies and which reporting framework is appropriate.

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

Companies House and HMRC use different definitions of dormancy. A company may be dormant for Companies House because it has no significant accounting transactions, but HMRC's Corporation Tax dormancy rules are based on the company's tax position. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically inform HMRC that your company is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes. We can help you understand both sets of obligations.

Does a dormant company still need to file a confirmation statement?

Yes, a dormant company generally still needs to submit a confirmation statement to Companies House each year, even if no changes have occurred. The confirmation statement is separate from annual accounts and confirms that the company's registered details are up to date. We can help prepare and file the confirmation statement alongside your dormant accounts.

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

It depends on whether the company is treated as dormant for Corporation Tax purposes by HMRC. A company that is dormant for Corporation Tax may need to notify HMRC, and once HMRC confirms that a return is no longer required, it may not need to file further Corporation Tax Returns. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not replace or trigger this process. We can review your situation to determine the correct position.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

To prepare dormant company accounts, we typically need the company's registered details, the accounting period end date, and confirmation that no significant transactions occurred during the year. We will also need to know about any other events, such as share transactions, that may affect dormancy. A director will need to review and approve the accounts before they are filed.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If required annual accounts are filed late, the company may be subject to a late-filing penalty from Companies House. The penalty amount depends on how late the filing is and the surrounding circumstances. Dormant status does not automatically protect a company from penalties. If your accounts are overdue, we can help prepare and file them as soon as possible and discuss any options that may be available.
