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?

A company is typically considered dormant for Companies House purposes if it has had no significant accounting transactions during the accounting period. For example, a company that has not started trading or has stopped trading may be able to file dormant accounts. However, dormancy is not automatic and depends on the company’s specific circumstances and the applicable rules. It’s also important to understand the difference between being dormant for Companies House and being dormant for Corporation Tax with HMRC. A company can be dormant for Companies House purposes while still having filing obligations, such as submitting a confirmation statement and, in some cases, Corporation Tax returns. Filing dormant accounts does not automatically remove the need to comply with these requirements.

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 been dormant during the accounting period. They are filed with Companies House and confirm that the company has had no significant accounting transactions. Even if a company is dormant, it may still need to prepare and file accounts unless a specific exemption applies. Preparing dormant accounts correctly is important to avoid late-filing penalties and maintain the company's filing history.

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

Yes, in most cases a dormant company still needs to file annual accounts with Companies House. There are some exemptions, but they depend on the company's circumstances and the applicable rules. Being dormant does not mean you can ignore the annual accounts requirement. If the accounts are not filed by the deadline, the company may incur late-filing penalties even though it is dormant.

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

These are separate tests. A company may be considered dormant for Companies House purposes if it has no significant accounting transactions. For HMRC and Corporation Tax, dormancy is determined by whether the company has any income or chargeable gains and whether it is required to file Corporation Tax returns. A company can be dormant for Companies House purposes but still need to notify HMRC or file Corporation Tax returns depending on its Corporation Tax position. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically tell HMRC that the company is dormant for Corporation Tax.

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

Yes. A confirmation statement is a separate filing required by Companies House. Even if a company is dormant and has filed dormant accounts, it must still keep its registered details up to date and deliver a confirmation statement at least once every 12 months. Filing dormant accounts does not replace the confirmation statement requirement.

Can dormant accounts be prepared for a company that has never traded?

Yes, if the company has never started trading and has had no significant accounting transactions, it may be able to file dormant accounts. This is common for companies that were incorporated for a future purpose but have not begun commercial activity. The company must still comply with its annual accounts and confirmation statement obligations while it remains dormant.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may also qualify as micro-entities, but dormancy and micro-entity status are separate issues. A company that qualifies under the micro-entity criteria and is dormant may be able to use the simplified micro-entity reporting framework. However, eligibility depends on the company's size, legal structure, accounting period and other requirements. We can review your company's position to determine the appropriate reporting framework.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If a dormant company does not file its annual accounts by the applicable Companies House deadline, it may be subject to an automatic late-filing penalty. The amount depends on how late the accounts are filed. Dormant status does not protect a company from these penalties. If you have missed a filing deadline, we can review your circumstances and assist you in bringing the required accounts up to date. We cannot guarantee that a penalty will be reduced or removed, but we can help you understand your options.
