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 a Rossendale Limited Company File Dormant Company Accounts?

A company is generally considered dormant for Companies House accounting purposes when it has no significant accounting transactions during the relevant period. This can include companies that have stopped trading, never started trading, or are being retained for future use. However, having no sales or no current activity does not automatically make a company dormant. Dormant status depends on the applicable rules and the specific circumstances. Even where a company is dormant, the directors may still need to prepare and file annual accounts with Companies House unless a specific exemption applies. Dormancy for Companies House purposes is separate from dormancy for Corporation Tax, so a company could be dormant under one set of rules but not the other. A confirmation statement may also still be required. If you are unsure whether your company qualifies as dormant, a professional review of your situation can help you understand what needs to be filed.

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 accounts prepared for a company that is dormant for accounting purposes under company law. They must be prepared according to the relevant Companies House filing requirements, often using a simplified format if the company qualifies. Even though the company has no significant accounting activity, the accounts still need to be delivered to Companies House when required.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

In most cases, yes. A dormant company generally still has to file its annual accounts with Companies House unless a specific exemption applies. Dormancy does not remove the filing obligation. Eligibility for exemptions depends on the company's individual circumstances, and directors should not assume that no accounts are needed simply because the company is dormant.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may also qualify as micro-entities and could use the micro-entity reporting framework, often FRS 105. Qualification depends on factors such as turnover, balance sheet total, and number of employees. Dormant status does not automatically make a company a micro-entity, and the appropriate reporting framework must be checked before any accounts are prepared.

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

The two definitions are separate. A company might be dormant for Companies House because it has no significant accounting transactions, but HMRC may still consider the company active for Corporation Tax purposes. Conversely, a company could be treated as dormant for Corporation Tax once HMRC has been notified and has confirmed that no further returns are needed. Sending accounts to Companies House does not automatically update HMRC, so each authority needs to be dealt with separately.

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

Yes, in most cases. A confirmation statement is a separate filing that must be submitted to Companies House at least once a year, and it is not replaced by filing dormant company accounts. A dormant company must still keep its registered information up to date, including details of directors, shareholders, and registered office, and confirm that information through the confirmation statement process.

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

It depends on the company's position with HMRC. If HMRC has been notified that the company is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes and has confirmed that no further returns are required, then a CT600 may not be needed unless circumstances change. However, if HMRC still expects a return, it must be submitted by the applicable deadline. Being dormant for accounts purposes does not automatically mean the company is dormant for Corporation Tax, so it is important to check the company's obligations with a professional.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If accounts are not delivered to Companies House by the company's filing deadline, a late-filing penalty may be issued. Dormant status does not protect a company from penalties if the required accounts are overdue. The amount of the penalty depends on how late the accounts are and the company's particular situation. Even if a penalty is issued, the outstanding accounts must still be submitted. In some cases, an appeal may be possible if there was a reasonable excuse, but this is decided based on the individual facts and Companies House rules.
