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 Your Company Prepare Dormant Company Accounts?

A company is generally considered dormant for accounting purposes if it has no significant accounting transactions during the relevant period. This may include companies that have not yet started trading, those that have ceased trading, or companies retained for future use. However, dormancy depends on the nature of transactions and the applicable Companies House rules, not simply on having no sales or income. Being dormant for Companies House purposes does not automatically remove the requirement to file annual accounts; in most cases, dormant accounts still need to be prepared and filed. Equally, HMRC treats Corporation Tax dormancy separately, so a company may need to notify HMRC and confirm that it has no Corporation Tax liability. At Micro Entity Accounts, we review the circumstances of each South Lanarkshire company to determine whether dormant company accounts are appropriate and to clarify ongoing obligations, including the confirmation statement.

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.

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 had no significant accounting transactions during the relevant period. They are filed with Companies House where required and must reflect the company’s dormancy accurately. Companies in South Lanarkshire that have not yet started trading, have ceased trading, or are being retained for future use may be eligible, but this is always subject to the applicable accounting rules.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Generally, yes. A dormant company remains required to file annual accounts with Companies House unless a specific exemption applies. Dormancy does not remove the statutory filing obligation, and late filing can lead to penalties. We can help you prepare the correct accounts and file them on time, but eligibility should be confirmed for your own company.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework if they meet the statutory size conditions. However, dormancy and micro-entity status are separate, so each company’s circumstances must be checked. If your company is eligible, we will prepare the accounts under the appropriate framework and file them with Companies House as required.

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

Yes, a dormant company is still generally required to submit a confirmation statement at least once a year to Companies House. This is not replaced by filing dormant company accounts. The confirmation statement confirms that the registered details are correct, and this obligation continues for as long as the company is incorporated.

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

It depends on the company’s Corporation Tax position. If HMRC has agreed that the company is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes, it may not need to file further CT600 returns. However, HMRCu2019s rules are distinct from Companies House, and filing dormant company accounts does not automatically update HMRC. We can help you engage with HMRC and understand what applies.

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

Companies House dormancy relates to the company’s accounting activity and the accounts you file. HMRC dormancy concerns Corporation Tax and whether the company has any taxable income or chargeable activity. A company might be dormant for one and not the other, so it’s essential to consider both sets of obligations. We review your position in South Lanarkshire against both regimes.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

For a dormant company, the accounts are usually simple, but we will still need basic information. This includes the company’s name, registered number, director details, statement of capital and details of any shares issued. If there have been any prior-year adjustments or other items we should be aware of, weu2019ll take those into account. Weu2019ll confirm the exact information required before preparing your dormant company accounts.

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

Yes, we can assist with overdue dormant company accounts. If accounts have not been filed by the statutory deadline, it’s important to bring the filing up to date and address any outstanding penalties. An appeal may be possible in certain circumstances, but success is not guaranteed. We can review your situation and help you make the necessary filings with Companies House.
