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 Are Dormant Company Accounts Suitable for Your St Austell Company?

A company may be considered dormant for accounting purposes when it has no significant accounting transactions during the relevant period. That generally means no income, expenditure, or other transactions needing entry in the company’s accounting records. However, dormancy is not simply about whether the company is trading or generating sales. Some companies that have not yet started trading, have stopped trading, or are held as holding companies may be dormant if they meet the relevant rules. Even where a company is dormant for Companies House purposes, it will usually still need to file annual accounts and submit a confirmation statement. Dormancy for Companies House is also separate from dormancy for HMRC Corporation Tax. A company may be dormant for one but not the other, and each has its own filing requirements depending on the circumstances. If you are unsure whether dormant company accounts are appropriate for your St Austell company, we can review your position and help you determine the correct next steps.

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

What are dormant company accounts?

Dormant company accounts are annual accounts prepared for a company that is dormant for accounting purposes. They are filed with Companies House to satisfy the company's annual reporting obligations when the company has had no significant accounting transactions during the period. Although the accounts are simplified, they still need to meet the applicable requirements and be filed by the set deadline.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, in most cases. A company that is dormant for Companies House purposes is generally still required to prepare and file annual accounts, unless a specific exemption applies. Dormant status does not remove the company from the register, and it does not automatically exempt the company from filing obligations. As long as the company remains incorporated, its annual accounts and confirmation statement obligations must be considered.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may also qualify as micro-entities and may choose to prepare their accounts under the micro-entity reporting framework. However, not every dormant company is a micro-entity, and the two concepts are separate. Eligibility depends on factors such as the company's size, legal structure and accounting period. If your dormant company qualifies, micro-entity accounts can simplify reporting further, but the relevant rules still apply.

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

Companies House dormancy relates to the company's accounting activity for annual accounts purposes. HMRC dormancy for Corporation Tax is a separate status that depends on the company's Corporation Tax position. A company may be dormant for Companies House but still need to send HMRC information, or it may be accepted as dormant for Corporation Tax and not be required to file further Corporation Tax Returns once HMRC has agreed that returns are no longer needed. Because the two regimes use different rules, it is important to assess both.

Does a dormant company need to submit a confirmation statement?

Yes. A confirmation statement is separate from annual accounts and is submitted to Companies House to confirm the company's registered information is up to date. A dormant company typically still needs to file a confirmation statement at least once a year, even if it files dormant accounts. Failing to file one can put the company at risk of being struck off, so it should not be overlooked.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If a dormant company files its annual accounts late, Companies House may issue a late-filing penalty. Dormant status does not automatically protect a company from this. The penalty amount and any appeal options depend on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules. The priority should be to file the outstanding accounts promptly. If a penalty has been imposed, we can help you review the situation.

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

If your company has missed one or more filing deadlines, we can help you prepare the required dormant company accounts and file them with Companies House to bring your filing history up to date. We can also assist with confirmation statement filing and consider whether a penalty appeal might be appropriate, depending on your circumstances. Addressing the matter as early as possible helps limit further risk.
