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 Use Dormant Company Accounts in Retford?

A company in Retford may be considered dormant for Companies House purposes if it has no significant accounting transactions during the relevant period. This could apply to companies that have not yet started trading, have stopped trading, are holding companies, or are being retained for future use. However, dormancy depends on the specific rules and your company’s circumstances, not simply on having no sales or being inactive. Even if a company is dormant for Companies House purposes, this does not automatically remove the requirement to file annual accounts or submit a confirmation statement. Dormancy for HMRC Corporation Tax purposes is treated separately; a company may need to notify HMRC and could have different obligations. We recommend reviewing your situation before assuming that no accounts or returns are required.

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 has been dormant during the accounting period and meets the Companies House requirements for dormant status. They are not simply 'no accounts'; eligible dormant companies may benefit from simplified filing requirements, but the accounts must still be prepared and filed with Companies House where required. The exact form and content depend on your company's circumstances, such as whether it qualifies as a micro-entity.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, in most cases a dormant company still needs to file annual accounts with Companies House, unless a specific exemption applies. Dormant status does not remove the filing obligation. The company remains incorporated and must meet its statutory duties, including delivering accounts by the applicable deadline. Our team can help you prepare and file the correct accounts for your dormant company in Retford.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may qualify for the micro-entity accounting framework and be able to prepare accounts under the micro-entity provisions, potentially using FRS 105. However, dormancy and micro-entity status are not the same thing. Eligibility depends on factors such as the company's size, legal structure and accounting period. Not every dormant company automatically qualifies as a micro-entity, so we review your circumstances before recommending the appropriate framework.

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

Being dormant for Companies House purposes means the company has no significant accounting transactions for Companies House reporting. Being dormant for Corporation Tax purposes is a separate matter that HMRC considers based on the company's Corporation Tax position and activities. A company may be dormant for Companies House but still have Corporation Tax obligations with HMRC. Filing dormant company accounts with Companies House does not automatically notify HMRC of dormancy. The two sets of rules are different, so it is important to address both.

Does a dormant company still need a confirmation statement?

Yes. A confirmation statement is separate from dormant company accounts. Even if your company is dormant, you generally still need to submit a confirmation statement to Companies House at least once every 12 months and keep your company information up to date. Filing dormant accounts does not replace this obligation. We can assist with confirmation statement support to help ensure your company records remain compliant.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If dormant company accounts are filed late and the company did not have a valid exemption, Companies House may issue a late-filing penalty. Dormant status does not automatically protect a company from these consequences. The specific penalty and whether an appeal may be considered depend on the circumstances and Companies House rules. If you have overdue accounts, it is important to address the filing requirement promptly and seek professional advice.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

To prepare dormant company accounts for a company in Retford, we typically need details such as the company name, registered number, registered office address, accounting period dates and prior year accounts if applicable. We also confirm that there have been no significant transactions and identify any that may affect dormant status. Each company is different, so we review the records available and confirm the relevant information before preparing the accounts.
