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.

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.

Accountant Review

A qualified accountant checks that your company genuinely qualifies as dormant before anything is submitted.

When Are Dormant Company Accounts the Right Choice in Seaton?

Under the relevant Companies House rules, a company may prepare dormant company accounts if it has had no significant accounting transactions during the accounting period. That may be the case for a company that has not yet started trading, has stopped trading, or is retained as a holding company with no reportable activity. However, a company does not become dormant merely because it has no sales or no current trading. Dormancy depends on the specific transactions and circumstances, and the rules differ between Companies House and HMRC. For example, a company can be dormant for Companies House purposes while still having Corporation Tax obligations. Filing dormant accounts does not automatically tell HMRC that the company is dormant. Moreover, a dormant company continues to exist as an incorporated entity and is generally still required to file annual accounts and a confirmation statement, unless a specific exemption applies.

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 the annual accounts prepared for a company that is dormant for Companies House purposes. They show that the company has had no significant accounting transactions during the relevant period. Although they are typically simpler than full accounts, they must still meet the applicable statutory requirements. We can help you prepare the right form of accounts for your company's circumstances.

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. Dormancy does not automatically remove the requirement to file accounts, and the company remains incorporated with ongoing responsibilities. If you are unsure whether an exemption applies, we can review the position and help you meet your obligations.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

A dormant company that qualifies as a micro-entity under the applicable Companies House criteria may be able to file micro-entity accounts. However, dormancy and micro-entity status are separate matters, and not every dormant company qualifies. We can assess your company's eligibility and explain 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 rules for dormancy. A company may be dormant for Companies House because it has no significant accounting transactions, but it may still have Corporation Tax obligations, depending on its position with HMRC. Filing dormant company accounts with Companies House does not automatically inform HMRC that the company is dormant for tax purposes. Both sets of obligations need to be reviewed separately.

Does a dormant company need to submit a confirmation statement?

Yes, a confirmation statement is separate from dormant company accounts. A dormant company is generally still required to submit a confirmation statement to Companies House and to keep its registered details up to date. Filing dormant accounts does not replace that requirement. We can help ensure both obligations are dealt with correctly.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If required accounts are not filed by the applicable Companies House deadline, the company may face late-filing consequences. Dormant companies are not automatically protected from those consequences, and the outstanding accounts will normally still need to be filed. The exact effect depends on the circumstances. We can help bring overdue dormant company accounts up to date and clarify what is needed.

Can you prepare dormant accounts for a company that has never traded?

Yes, we can prepare dormant company accounts for a company that has not yet started trading, as long as it is eligible under the relevant rules. A company that has never traded may still be required to file accounts and a confirmation statement. We can review your situation and explain exactly what needs to be done.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

Typically we will need your company name, company number and registered office address, together with details of any share capital that must be reported. We will also need to confirm that there have been no significant accounting transactions and check whether any exemptions apply. Once we understand your circumstances, we will tell you exactly what information is required.
