If your company is dormant (i.e., not engaged in any significant business activity), you still need to file dormant accounts with Companies House in the UK.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to file dormant accounts:
Access Companies House Online Services: Visit the official Companies House website: Companies House. Log in to your Companies House online account. If you don't have an account, you'll need to create one.
Locate Your Company: Once logged in, find your company in the list of companies associated with your account.
Choose the Appropriate Form: Select the option to file dormant accounts. This is usually labelled as "File dormant accounts" or something similar.
Review Company Information: Confirm that the information displayed by Companies House is accurate and up to date.
Complete the Form: Complete the necessary details on the dormant accounts form. This may include information about the company's assets, liabilities, and share capital.
Statement of Director: The director or directors of the company must sign a statement confirming that the accounts are prepared on the basis that the company is entitled to deliver special/dormant accounts.
Review and Confirm: Double-check all the information you have provided for accuracy. Confirm that the accounts are being submitted because the company is dormant.
Submit the Form: Electronically sign the dormant accounts form. Submit the form to Companies House.
Pay the Filing Fee: Pay any required filing fees. The fee for filing dormant accounts is usually lower than the fee for filing regular annual accounts.
Receive Confirmation: Once the dormant accounts are successfully submitted, you will receive confirmation from Companies House.
It's important to note that even if your company is dormant, you are still required to file dormant accounts annually. Failure to do so may result in penalties or the dissolution of the company. Keep track of the filing deadlines and ensure that your company's information is accurate and up to date with Companies House.
