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 Accounts in Solihull?

A company may be considered dormant for accounting purposes if it has no significant accounting transactions during the relevant period. This can apply to companies that have not yet started trading, have stopped trading, are being retained for future use, or are holding companies with no relevant activity. However, dormancy is not simply about having no sales; it depends on the specific rules and your company’s circumstances. Even if a company is dormant for Companies House purposes, it may still need to file annual accounts and a confirmation statement, unless a specific exemption applies. It is also important to understand that being dormant for Companies House is different from being dormant for Corporation Tax purposes with HMRC. We can review your situation and help you determine the correct approach for your dormant company in Solihull.

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 that a limited company prepares and files with Companies House when it meets the relevant dormancy criteria. They confirm that the company has had no significant accounting transactions during the period. They are separate from any Corporation Tax obligations you may have with HMRC. Even if your company is dormant, you may still be required to file these accounts unless a specific exemption applies.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts with Companies House?

Yes, in most cases. A company that is dormant for Companies House purposes generally still needs to file its annual accounts with Companies House each year. There are some specific exemptions, but you cannot simply assume that dormancy removes the obligation. We can help you confirm whether your company needs to file and then prepare the accounts correctly for your Solihull-based company.

Can a dormant company be dormant for Companies House but still have Corporation Tax obligations?

Yes. Dormancy for Companies House is not the same as dormancy for HMRC Corporation Tax. A company can be dormant for accounts purposes but still be within the scope of Corporation Tax. If HMRC has not agreed that the company is dormant for Corporation Tax, you may still need to submit Corporation Tax Returns. We can help you understand where you stand and deal with both sets of obligations appropriately.

Does a dormant company need to submit a confirmation statement?

A confirmation statement is separate from dormant company accounts. Even if your company is dormant, it generally still needs to submit a confirmation statement to Companies House at least once every 12 months, and keep its registered details up to date. Filing dormant accounts does not replace the confirmation statement. We can assist with both filing requirements.

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

Companies House and HMRC use different definitions and processes for dormancy. Companies House dormancy relates to your annual accounts and whether your company has had significant accounting transactions. HMRC dormancy relates to Corporation Tax and whether your company needs to file Corporation Tax Returns. A company can be treated as dormant for one purpose but not the other. You should always check both sets of obligations rather than assuming one status means you are exempt from everything.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If a company is required to deliver annual accounts to Companies House and misses the applicable deadline, it will usually be subject to late-filing penalties. Dormant status does not automatically protect a company from these penalties. The amount depends on how late the accounts are and the company's circumstances. If you have overdue accounts, we can help you bring your filing up to date as quickly as possible.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

To prepare dormant company accounts, we need details about your company such as its registered number, registered office address, directors and shareholders, and the relevant accounting period. We also need confirmation that the company has not had significant accounting transactions during the period, along with details of any prior-year adjustments or filing exemptions. If you are unsure what applies, we can review your circumstances and let you know what we need.

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

Yes. If your company has missed one or more filing deadlines for dormant accounts, we can assist in preparing and filing the overdue accounts with Companies House. We understand that directors may fall behind with obligations, and we can help you get back on track. We cannot guarantee that any late-filing penalty will be reduced or removed, but we can ensure the accounts are prepared correctly and filed promptly.
