Frequently asked questions

Will the old £19 dormant price cover this year?

If there are significant transactions in the financial year, dormant accounts usually will not fit. Trading accounts and CT600 are £199 up to £90,000 turnover in that accounting period or £499 above it, subject to review of the records and scope.
