Dormant Company Accounts Ireland
Helping directors keep dormant companies compliant with CRO and Revenue filing obligations while they're not actively trading.
RICHARD OSHEA CONSULTANCY
Keep Your Dormant Company Compliant
A company may have stopped trading, but its legal obligations don’t necessarily stop with it. Most dormant companies in Ireland must continue to meet annual filing requirements with the Companies Registration Office (CRO), and depending on their circumstances, may also have ongoing obligations with Revenue. Missing these deadlines can lead to late filing penalties, loss of audit exemption, or even strike-off proceedings.
Our Dormant Company Accounts service helps directors prepare and file the necessary accounts and returns, ensuring their company remains compliant while inactive and ready for future use if circumstances change.
UNDERSTANDING DORMANT COMPANIES
Is your company truly dormant?
Not every company that isn’t actively trading qualifies as dormant. Even if your business has stopped trading or hasn’t started operating yet, you may still have legal filing obligations.
Our service may be suitable if:
- Your company has ceased trading.
- You incorporated a company but haven’t started business yet.
- You’re holding a company for a future project or investment.
- Your company currently has no employees or trading income.
- You’re unsure whether your company qualifies as dormant.
- You want to avoid unnecessary penalties while the company remains inactive.
We’ll help determine your filing obligations and ensure your company stays compliant.
