A dormant company must still send annual accounts and a confirmation statement every year. The accounts are usually due 9 months after the end of the financial year. Companies House and HMRC each have their own test for “dormant”. Our dormant accounts service is £19, paid at the start.
If your company can pay its bills, striking it off is usually the cheapest way to close it. Voluntary strike off costs £13 online or £18 on a paper DS01. HMRC needs final statutory accounts and a final Company Tax Return, but Companies House does not need final accounts.
Every company, including dormant and non-trading companies, must file a confirmation statement at least once every 12 months, even if nothing has changed. You can file up to 14 days after your review period ends. The fee is £50 online or £110 on a paper CS01.
No bookkeeping needed first. Bank statements are enough to start. We do the bookkeeping, prepare your accounts and tell you if anything important is missing.
