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 Company File Dormant Company Accounts in Shropshire?

A company may be able to file Dormant Company Accounts if it has no significant accounting transactions during the accounting period. This is common for companies that have not yet started trading, have ceased trading, or hold assets passively. However, you cannot assume that a company is dormant simply because it has no sales or employees; dormancy depends on the precise rules and the nature of any transactions. Even a dormant company generally remains required to file annual accounts with Companies House, unless a specific exemption applies, and it must also submit a confirmation statement when due. It is also important to understand the difference between Companies House dormancy and HMRC Corporation Tax dormancy. A company that is dormant for Companies House purposes may still have Corporation Tax obligations, and notification to HMRC is a separate matter. We can help clarify your obligations and ensure nothing is overlooked.

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 simplified annual accounts that eligible companies prepare when they have no significant accounting transactions during the accounting period. They are filed with Companies House as part of the company's statutory obligations. Although the accounts are simpler than full statutory accounts, they must still be prepared in accordance with the applicable regulations and submitted by the company's filing deadline.

Does a dormant company still need to file annual accounts?

Yes, in most circumstances. Unless a specific exemption applies, a dormant company must still deliver accounts to Companies House each year. The accounts are prepared on a reduced disclosure basis, but the filing obligation remains. Missing the deadline can result in late-filing penalties, even if the company is dormant.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Many dormant companies also meet the conditions for micro-entity reporting, but the two concepts are not the same. Eligibility depends on factors such as turnover, balance sheet total, and number of employees. Where a company qualifies as both dormant and a micro-entity, the correct filing approach will depend on its specific circumstances. We can assess eligibility and ensure the appropriate framework is applied.

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

They are separate tests. Companies House dormancy relates to whether the company has significant accounting transactions and is used to determine the form of annual accounts. HMRC dormancy relates to Corporation Tax and considers whether the company is in a position where it does not need to file Corporation Tax Returns. A company can be dormant for Companies House but still active for HMRC, or vice versa. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically update HMRC, so the company may need to notify HMRC separately and continue to meet any tax obligations.

Does a dormant company need to submit a confirmation statement?

Yes, in most cases. A confirmation statement is a separate annual filing with Companies House that confirms the company's registered details are accurate. It is not replaced by filing dormant company accounts. Dormant companies must continue to file a confirmation statement each year, and they need to keep Companies House informed of any changes to directors, registered office, or shareholder information.

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

Yes. We can help companies that have been incorporated but have not yet traded or have never had any significant transactions to prepare Dormant Company Accounts. We will first review your company's activity to confirm that dormant status is appropriate, and then prepare the necessary accounts and any supporting documents. We can also provide guidance on the confirmation statement and other filing requirements.

What does it cost to prepare dormant company accounts in Shropshire?

Our pricing for dormant company accounts in Shropshire is simple and transparent. We provide a fixed fee based on your company's circumstances and the work involved. After reviewing your details, we will give you a clear quote before any work is undertaken, so there are no hidden costs or surprises.
