What are dormant company accounts?

Dormant company accounts are a highly simplified form of accounts that include just a balance sheet detailing the company’s share capital.

Companies that are dormant for Companies House’s purposes are permitted to file this type of accounts. This can save a great deal of time and money as they do not require the services of an accountant to prepare them.

A company is considered dormant if there hasn’t been a significant number of accounting transactions since its incorporation or the last filing of its accounts. Generally, a company is deemed dormant if it is not currently trading.

Even when this is the case, you are still obliged to file company accounts within nine months of your accounting reference date and file a confirmation statement every year. Failing to do either can result in significant penalties.

Required Information for dormant company accounts:

An annual confirmation statement filing confirms the following information:

  • Company name
  • Company number
  • Accounting reference date (ARD)
  • Web filing authentication code
  • Name of one director
  • Copy of the bank statement (if the company has a bank account)

The Importance of Filing Your Dormant Accounts on Time:

Companies House and HMRC impose strict deadlines by which you should file your accounts and confirmation statement. If you miss these deadlines, you will have to pay a penalty, which gets bigger the longer you leave it.

For private limited companies, penalties vary depending on how late you file your accounts:

  • Up to 1 month — £150
  • One to three months — £375
  • Three to six months — £750
  • More than six months — £1,500.

The penalty is doubled if your accounts are late two years in a row.

The best way to avoid having to pay a late filing penalty is to ensure your accounts are filed on time. At Mint Formations, our experts will handle the entire process and ensure your accounts are filled in correctly and filed on time. You can also opt to:

  • Dissolve the company instead, which will mean you won’t have to file accounts at all
  • Appeal against the penalty. However, your appeal may not be successful.

Please note:

Accounts are not to be confused with the Confirmation Statement (previously known as Annual Returns). A Confirmation Statement is a snapshot of general information about a company (not financial information). Both must be filed with Companies House on an annual basis. If you are unsure which is due please contact us and we can check for you.

Online Dormant Company Accounts Filing Service FAQ

£49.99 + VAT

Buy Now View Options

A dormant company for the purposes of Companies House is one that has no ‘significant accounting transactions.’ If there are no significant accounting transactions in the company, then it is usually considered dormant and so is eligible to file dormant company accounts.

Companies House and HMRC have different definitions as to what is considered a dormant company. Whilst Companies House relies upon the significant accounting transaction rule, HMRC considers a company dormant when it is non-trading.

A ‘significant accounting transaction’ is any transaction that needs to be entered into the company’s accounting records. For example, the payment of an invoice or interest received from a bank account. It doesn’t matter how big or small the transaction actually is.

There are, however, three specific transactions that will not count as ‘significant’:

  • Payment for shares taken by the initial shareholders on incorporation (the subscribers)
  • Any filing fees that are paid to Companies House, e.g. for a change of name or confirmation statement
  • Any penalties for the late filing of accounts

If there are no other transactions in the company aside from the three listed above, the company is usually able to submit dormant company accounts.

Only companies that are dormant for Companies House’s purposes are eligible to file dormant accounts. Dormant companies are defined by Companies House as those that have no ‘significant accounting transactions.’

To file your dormant accounts, we will need your company name, registration number, and authentication code. We’ll also need you to answer our short online questionnaire to helps us submit the accounts correctly.

The questionnaire will ask you to confirm that your company is eligible to file dormant accounts, whether any shares have been paid up, and the name of the director(s) who will sign off on the accounts.

Yes. You do not need to have formed your company with us to make use of our Dormant Company Accounts Service.

Yes. Failure to file any set of accounts (including dormant accounts) with Companies House will automatically incur a late filing penalty. The penalty starts at £150 for private companies and rises the longer past the deadline the accounts remain unfiled.

Penalties for accounts submitted late in two successive financial years are doubled. Additionally, the company’s director(s) may face prosecution for failure to uphold their responsibilities.

Please note: we cannot take responsibility for any late filing penalties or fines if your order was not submitted at least 3 working days prior to the due date.

No. Limited liability partnerships are not eligible to submit dormant accounts.

Using our Express Service it takes 24 hours (1 working day) to prepare and file dormant company accounts with Companies House (subject to receiving the required information).

If you are not in a rush, our Standard Service takes up to 3 working days (subject to receiving the required information).

We recommend you order the service at least 5 working days prior to the due date.

Please note: We cannot take responsibility for any late filing penalties or fines if your order or required information is not received in a timely manner.

Accounts must be filed at Companies House at least once every 12 months.

This service is renewable annually, at a cost of £49.99 plus VAT, ensuring you do not miss a filing date in the future.

If you have no intention of resuming trading, it will likely be a better option to dissolve your company. This will relieve you of your obligation to file annual accounts and confirmation statements.

We can help you with the limited company dissolution process by taking care of all the paperwork and filing it on your behalf for a completely hands-off approach.
