How to File your dormant accounts (AA02)

What you need to know about filing Dormant Acounts with Companies House.

Companies House Form AA02 is a form used to file dormant accounts with Companies House. Under UK law, companies are required to submit a set of annual accounts to Companies House, even if the company is not trading. If the company has not traded for a period of time, the annual accounts can be filed as dormant accounts.

The Companies Act 2006 requires companies to file a set of dormant accounts with Companies House each year.

This legislation is enforced by the Registrar of Companies and the filing of dormant accounts is necessary to maintain the company’s legal status. To file dormant accounts using Form AA02, companies must first complete the form. This form requires details such as the company’s name and registration number, as well as the names of the directors and shareholders. Once the form is completed, it should be signed by the company’s directors and sent to Companies House with the corresponding filing fee.

Companies should also attach a set of dormant accounts to the form.

These accounts should include a balance sheet, a profit and loss account and a directors’ report. The accounts should be prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. Companies House will review the form and accounts, and if they are accepted, the company will be notified and the accounts will be made available for public viewing.

In conclusion, Companies House Form AA02 is used to file dormant accounts with Companies House. This is a requirement of the Companies Act 2006 and is necessary to maintain the company’s legal status. Companies must complete the form and attach a set of dormant accounts to it. They should then sign the form and submit it to Companies House with the filing fee. Companies House will review the form and accounts, and if accepted, the accounts will be made available for public viewing.
