Limited Company Dormant Accounts

What Are Dormant Company Accounts?

A limited company is known as dormant when it has not carried out any trading or funds give and take during a financial year. Moreover, simply put, your company is dormant if it has not traded, got income, or paid out any expenses. This includes everything other than the minimal statutory costs like Companies House fees.

Frequently Asked Questions

Discover answers to frequently asked questions about our accounting services. Learn more about our offerings, processes, and how we can support your financial needs

What is a dormant company?

A dormant company is a registered limited company that has not traded, earned income, or carried out any business activities during the financial year. It remains legally active with Companies House but has no significant financial transactions.

Do I still need to file accounts for a dormant limited company?

Yes. Even if your company is not trading, you must file annual dormant accounts with Companies House. If HMRC sends a notice to deliver a tax return, you must also notify them that the company is dormant.

What happens if I don’t file my dormant company accounts on time?

Missing the deadline results in automatic late filing penalties from Companies House. Penalties increase the longer the delay continues, and persistent non-compliance may lead to your company being struck off the register.

How much does it cost to file dormant accounts with OneTeam Chartered Accountants?

OneTeam Chartered Accountants offers a fixed, affordable fee for dormant company accounts, typically starting from £60–£120, depending on your filing requirements. All pricing is transparent, with no hidden costs.

Can I file dormant accounts myself?

Yes, you can file dormant accounts online through Companies House. However, many directors prefer professional assistance to ensure the accounts are filed correctly and to avoid penalties for errors or late submissions.

What documents are needed to file dormant accounts?

To file dormant accounts, we generally require:

Company registration details
Confirmation that the company has not traded
Bank statements (to confirm no significant transactions)
Previous filings or accounts (if applicable)
Any correspondence from Companies House or HMRC

OneTeam Chartered Accountants will guide you through each step and help gather all required details.

How long does it take to process dormant company accounts?

Once we receive your information, we can prepare and file your dormant accounts within 1–3 working days. Companies House typically accepts and updates the filing shortly after submission.

Can a dormant company start trading again later?

Yes. A dormant company can become active at any time. You must inform HMRC once trading begins and ensure proper bookkeeping, tax registration, and compliance going forward.

Do dormant companies pay Corporation Tax?

No. Dormant companies do not pay Corporation Tax because they are not generating taxable income. The obligation resumes once the company becomes active and starts trading.
