DORMANT COMPANY COMPLIANCE
Dormant Company Accounts Filing
A simplified annual-accounts preparation and filing service for an eligible UK company with no significant accounting transactions.
✓Dormancy eligibility questionnaire✓Accounts prepared for the correct period✓Companies House submission confirmation
SERVICE OVERVIEW
Dormant does not mean free from filing duties.
A company is generally dormant for Companies House when it has no significant accounting transactions during the financial year. Certain items—such as the original payment for subscriber shares, Companies House filing fees and late-filing penalties—are treated differently.
We confirm the period and transaction history, prepare the dormant accounts using the information supplied and submit them to Companies House. Dormancy for Corporation Tax is a separate HMRC question, so the company should not assume one status automatically proves the other.
