Dormant companies usually do not need to pay corporation tax or submit tax returns.

If your company is dormant, it usually doesn’t need to pay Corporation Tax or submit tax returns. However, you must formally notify HMRC to avoid receiving unnecessary tax return reminders or penalties.

When to Notify HMRC


  • When your company becomes dormant: Inform HMRC as soon as trading stops so they can mark your company as dormant in their records.


  • If your company starts trading again: Notify HMRC immediately to restart tax obligations.
