Dormant company Explanation

What does it mean to have a dormant company?

A dormant company is one that has been licensed with Companies House but is not currently doing business or generating money.

The dormant business will no longer be considered dormant if it receives compensation for its position as a corporate shareholder guarantor, or if the company’s directors or members receive compensation.

When will a limited liability partnership be declared “dormant”?

You must satisfy the following conditions to file as inactive, which means you must have no significant operations of:

• Getting dividend checks

• Getting bank interest

• Paying returns to shareholders

• Investing administrators

• Paying the officers’ salaries

• Paid for the company’s formation expenses with the corporate bank account.

Changing the status of your dormant company

The state of your business will be changed from dormant to active, enabling you to file a Company Tax Return and pay income tax. To notify HMRC of your company’s active status, you can use the online registration service or provide the appropriate details in writing.
