Check if a UK company is dormant - last accounts type, filing history, and dormancy status.
A dormant company is one that has had no significant accounting transactions during the financial year. Companies House and HMRC have slightly different definitions of dormancy.
We check the type of the company's most recently filed accounts. If they filed dormant accounts (also called "no trading activity" accounts), the company is classified as dormant.
Even dormant companies must file simplified annual accounts and a confirmation statement with Companies House. They should also notify HMRC that they are dormant.
