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.

 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 Are Dormant Company Accounts Appropriate in St Annes-on-sea?

A company may be able to file dormant company accounts if it has not entered into any significant accounting transactions during the accounting period. This can include a newly incorporated company that has not yet started trading, a company that has stopped trading, or a holding company with no significant income or expenditure. However, dormancy is not simply based on having no sales or no trading activity. The relevant accounting rules and Companies House guidance must be considered before deciding whether dormant accounts are appropriate. It is also important to understand that being dormant for Companies House purposes does not automatically make the company dormant for Corporation Tax with HMRC. Each set of filing obligations is treated separately, and a company may still need to file a confirmation statement or meet other statutory requirements. If you are unsure whether your company qualifies, we can review your circumstances and help you determine the correct filing approach.

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.

What are dormant company accounts?

Dormant company accounts are annual accounts prepared for a company that is considered dormant under the Companies Act and related regulations. They confirm that the company has had no significant accounting transactions during the period, apart from certain permitted items such as share capital or fees paid to the registrar. Dormant company accounts must still meet the required format and be filed with Companies House where applicable.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes. A dormant company will usually still need to file annual accounts with Companies House unless a specific exemption applies. Dormant status does not remove the requirement to file accounts; it simply means the accounts can be prepared in a simplified format. The filing deadline and the obligation to submit accounts continue to apply, and late filing can result in penalties.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

A dormant company may be able to use the micro-entity reporting framework if it qualifies as a micro-entity under the applicable company law. However, dormancy does not automatically mean a company is a micro-entity. Eligibility depends on factors such as turnover, balance sheet totals and number of employees. If a dormant company meets the criteria, it may prepare its accounts under the micro-entity provisions, but we recommend confirming eligibility before filing.

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

Being dormant for Companies House purposes relates to the company's accounting transactions and its obligation to file annual accounts. Being dormant for Corporation Tax is a separate matter determined by HMRC and depends on the company's Corporation Tax position. A company may be dormant for Companies House but still be required to send Corporation Tax Returns to HMRC unless HMRC has confirmed that a return is no longer needed. Filing dormant company accounts with Companies House does not automatically inform HMRC of the company's tax dormancy.

Does a dormant company still need a confirmation statement?

Yes. Dormant company accounts do not replace the confirmation statement. A confirmation statement is a separate filing with Companies House that confirms the company's registered office, directors, shareholders and other statutory information. Most companies, including those that are dormant, must submit a confirmation statement at least once every 12 months to keep their records up to date.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

Companies House can issue late-filing penalties even if the company is dormant, because the requirement to file annual accounts still applies. The amount of the penalty depends on how late the accounts are filed. It is not automatically removed because the company is dormant. If you have missed the deadline, it is important to file the outstanding accounts as soon as possible and consider whether the circumstances support an appeal.

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

Yes. A company that has been incorporated but has never traded can often file dormant company accounts, provided it meets the dormancy criteria. Newly formed companies commonly need to file first dormant accounts by their first filing deadline. However, the company must still file its annual accounts and confirmation statement as required, and any Corporation Tax position with HMRC needs to be dealt with separately.
