A company is dormant if it is not trading and has no financial transactions. A company could be dormant for a specific financial year or over its entire life since incorporation.

Companies House defines a company as dormant if it has had no significant transactions during a financial year. However, the following do not count as significant transactions:

• Filing fees paid to Companies House
• Penalties for late filing of accounts
• Payment for shares at the time of incorporation

 A dormant company remains a legal entity and must comply with statutory filing requirements set by Companies House and HMRC.

All limited companies, whether trading or not, must file annual accounts and a confirmation statement with Companies House. However, dormant companies can submit a simplified version of annual accounts called ‘dormant accounts’, while the confirmation statement remains unchanged.

To file your dormant accounts, we will need your company name, registration number and Companies House authentication code. We will also request you to answer a short online questionnaire to help us submit the dormant accounts correctly.

Once you purchase the service, we will email you a short questionnaire. After receiving your response, we will submit your dormant company accounts within three (3) working days.

For urgent service requirements, we offer urgent same-day filing service for £30. Please visit the link below to purchase the urgent service.

Failure to file dormant accounts (or any set of accounts) with Companies House on time will result in an automatic late filing penalty, starting at £150 and increasing the longer the company remains non-compliant. Additionally, the company’s director(s) could face prosecution for not fulfilling their legal obligations.

Please note: We are not responsible for any late filing penalties if your order is not received at least 3 working days before the submission deadline.
