With year end approaching it is important to remember that dormant company accounts need to be filed, explains Rachel Roberts, head of compliance and enforcement, Companies House
All limited companies, whether they trade or not, must deliver annual accounts and a confirmation statement to Companies House each year. This includes dormant companies.
A company’s directors are legally responsible for running the company and making sure company accounts and reports are properly prepared and filed on time.
A dormant company may not be in the forefront of directors’ minds, but even if they do not intend to carry on any kind of business activity or receive any form of income, they must still file annual accounts and send Companies House confirmation statements every year.
We want to inspire trust and confidence in our registers and data, so the accuracy of information on the register is of vital importance.
