Dormant company accounts are statutory accounts that a company may need to prepare and file with Companies House if it has been dormant during the accounting period. Dormancy is defined for this purpose under the Companies Act, and it is not the same as simply not trading. Even if a company has no income or expenditure, it may still have an annual filing obligation unless an exemption applies. If the accounts are not filed by the statutory deadline, they become overdue and Companies House may take action.
Yes. A dormant company can have overdue accounts if the required dormant accounts were not delivered to Companies House by the applicable deadline. It is a common misunderstanding that dormant companies never need to file accounts. In many cases, dormant companies are required to file annual accounts unless they are specifically exempt under the Companies Act. Whether the accounts are actually overdue depends on the company’s accounting period and the date the accounts were due.
Yes, in most cases the outstanding accounts must still be prepared and delivered to Companies House, even if the deadline has passed. Filing overdue accounts does not automatically remove any late-filing penalty that may have been imposed, but failing to file at all usually leads to more serious compliance problems. The sooner the overdue accounts are filed, the sooner the company can bring its filing history up to date.
If accounts are delivered to Companies House after the applicable deadline, Companies House can issue a late-filing penalty. The amount of the penalty depends on the circumstances and how late the accounts are delivered. Paying the penalty does not remove the need to file the outstanding accounts. Where a company has a reasonable excuse, a penalty appeal may be possible, but this depends on the specific facts and Companies House rules. An accountant can review the circumstances, but cannot guarantee that a penalty will be reduced or cancelled.
The information required varies depending on the company’s circumstances and the accounting period in question. For dormant company accounts, details such as the company number, the accounting reference date, copies of previous accounts, and confirmation of the company’s dormant status are typically needed. If the company has traded or changed its activities, additional financial information may be required. We will let you know exactly what information is needed after reviewing your specific situation.
Micro-entity accounts are available only to companies that qualify under the micro-entity provisions. Dormant accounts have their own specific requirements, and not every company will qualify for the micro-entity framework. Even where a company is small or dormant, the correct reporting framework must be established before preparing the accounts. We can help determine whether micro-entity accounts or another form of accounts are appropriate for your overdue filing, depending on your circumstances and the applicable accounting standards.
No. Statutory accounts are filed with Companies House, while a CT600 Corporation Tax return is submitted to HMRC. Although the two may be linked, they are separate compliance obligations. Filing overdue dormant company accounts with Companies House does not automatically satisfy any Corporation Tax filing requirements that HMRC may have imposed. If you have both overdue Companies House accounts and outstanding HMRC matters, each obligation needs to be addressed separately.
We can review your company’s filing history and circumstances to help identify which dormant company accounts are outstanding and what needs to be prepared. We then assist with preparing the accounts using the appropriate reporting framework and support you in delivering them to Companies House. We can also help you understand any late-filing penalties and discuss your situation, although we cannot guarantee that penalties will be reduced or waived. Our aim is to make sure the filing obligations are dealt with accurately and in a straightforward manner.
