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 in Runcorn?

A company may be able to file dormant company accounts when it is dormant for Companies House purposes. Dormancy generally means that the company has had no significant accounting transactions during the relevant period. This can apply to a company that has not yet started trading, has stopped trading, or is retained for future use. However, dormancy is not automatic simply because a company has no sales or no current trading activity. It depends on the company’s specific circumstances and the applicable rules. It is also important to distinguish between being dormant for Companies House purposes and being dormant for Corporation Tax purposes. HMRC’s treatment is based on the company’s Corporation Tax position, and separate notification may be required. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically tell HMRC that the company is dormant for tax purposes. Even where a company is dormant, it may still need to file annual accounts with Companies House and submit a confirmation statement when required. Dormant status does not remove the company’s filing obligations. We can help you determine which requirements apply to your Runcorn limited company and prepare the necessary documents.

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.

─── FAQs

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 no significant accounting transactions during the period. They are filed with Companies House as part of the company's statutory reporting obligations. Even though the accounting information is simplified, the accounts must meet the requirements of the Companies Act and be prepared in accordance with the appropriate reporting framework.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, in most cases. A company that is dormant for Companies House purposes is still usually required to file annual accounts with Companies House, unless a specific exemption applies. Dormancy does not remove the obligation to file accounts. You should always confirm your exact filing requirements based on your company's circumstances.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

A dormant company may qualify as a micro-entity if it meets the relevant size criteria for that reporting framework. Not every dormant company is a micro-entity, and the two statuses are separate. If your dormant company qualifies for the micro-entity reporting framework, FRS 105 may apply. We can review your eligibility and prepare accounts under the correct framework.

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

Dormant for Companies House purposes means the company has no significant accounting transactions and is entitled to file dormant accounts. Dormant for Corporation Tax purposes is a separate HMRC status that depends on the company's Corporation Tax position. The definitions are not identical, and being dormant for one does not automatically mean you are dormant for the other. You may need to notify HMRC separately.

Does a dormant company still need a confirmation statement?

Yes, a confirmation statement is separate from a company's annual accounts. A dormant company is generally still required to submit a confirmation statement at least once a year and must keep its Companies House records up to date. Filing dormant accounts does not replace the confirmation statement requirement.

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

It depends on the company's Corporation Tax position and whether HMRC has agreed that the company is dormant for tax purposes. A company that is dormant for Corporation Tax is not automatically exempt from filing Company Tax Returns. HMRC may require a final Corporation Tax Return once the company has stopped trading, and you should notify HMRC of any change in your company's status. We can help you understand your obligations.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

Late filing of dormant company accounts can result in Companies House late-filing penalties, regardless of the company's dormant status. The amount of any penalty depends on the length of the delay and the company's circumstances. Filing late does not remove the obligation to file the accounts. If you have missed a deadline, you should bring the filing up to date as soon as possible and consider whether an appeal is appropriate.

Can you help bring overdue dormant company accounts up to date?

Yes. If your dormant company has missed filings, we can help prepare the outstanding accounts and file them with Companies House. However, we cannot guarantee that any late-filing penalty will be reduced or waived. We can review your situation, explain the options and assist you with the required paperwork so that your company's records are brought back into order.
