Dormant Company Accounts

Companies registered in the UK need to submit statutory year-end accounts to Companies House every year. Dormant and non-trading companies also need to submit accounts, even if the company may not have any transactions during the year. It is one of the legal duties of the company director to file the company's accounts to Companies House by the deadline. Dormant Company Services, accountants for dormant companies, help the company directors fulfill their duties under the Companies Act 2006. Our expert and experienced accountants ensure that the dormant and non-trading company's accounts are submitted before the deadline and according to Companies House requirements on behalf of our clients.

We Have Answered Almost All Your Questions About Dormant Company Accounts

  • What is a dormant company?

    A dormant company, also known as a dormant corporation or inactive company, refers to a registered legal entity, such as a corporation or limited company, that is not currently carrying out any significant business activities. Although the company exists as a legal entity, it has become inactive and does not generate any substantial revenue or undertake any trade operations.

  • Do we need to submit year-end accounts to Companies House even if I have not traded or have no transactions to report?

    Yes. In the United Kingdom, for example, all companies, including dormant companies, are generally required to submit annual financial statements to Companies House. Even if your company has not traded or conducted any transactions during the financial year, you still need to file dormant accounts.

  • Your company is likely to be dormant if one of the following applies

    • Does not have a business bank account.
    • Does have a business bank account but no bank charges have been paid during the year.
    • No expenses paid for the company other than Companies House fees.
    • Accountancy fees paid by the director personally and will not be recorded as the company's accounting transaction.
  • What are the late filing penalties for private limited dormant companies not submitting accounts on time?

    The penalty only applies to accounts. The level of the penalty depends on how late the accounts reach Companies House.

    Length of period (measured from the date the accounts are due)

    Not more than 1 month: £150

    More than 1 month but not more than 3 months: £375

    More than 3 months but not more than 6 months: £750

    More than 6 months: £1,500

  • Why may a company become dormant?

    There are various reasons why a company may become dormant. Some common scenarios include:

    1. Startup companies: Newly formed companies that have not yet commenced their business operations may be considered dormant until they start conducting business.
    2. Temporary suspension of business: A previously active company may choose to temporarily halt its operations due to various reasons, such as restructuring, financial difficulties, or market conditions. During this period, the company is considered dormant.
    3. Holding companies: In certain cases, a company may be established as a holding company with the primary purpose of owning and managing other subsidiary companies. If the holding company does not engage in any active business operations and only exists to hold assets or investments, it may be classified as dormant.
    4. Inactive subsidiaries: If a subsidiary company within a larger corporate group ceases its activities but continues to exist as a separate legal entity, it may be considered dormant.

    It's important to note that even though a company is dormant, it still retains its legal obligations, such as submitting annual financial statements and tax returns to the relevant authorities. The specific requirements for maintaining dormant status may vary depending on the jurisdiction where the company is registered. It is advisable to consult with legal and accounting professionals to ensure compliance with the applicable regulations.

  • When do we need to submit the dormant accounts to Companies House?

    Dormant accounts for a company must be submitted to Companies House within the specified deadline, which is generally nine months after the company's financial year-end.

    The financial year-end is the date on which the company's financial accounting period ends. For example, if your company's financial year-end is December 31st, you would typically have until the following September 30th to submit the dormant accounts.
