AA02 -Dormant Company Accounts Downloadable PDF Form – Print & Post

AA02 forms are used to submit accounts by Dormant Limited Companies.

There are a number of reasons for having a dormant company which has never traded, though usually it’s to prevent another company from using the company name that you plan (or hope) to use in the future.

If your company is dormant, it is your responsibility to submit annual accounts and confirmation statement to Companies House by completing and submitting the AA02 Dormant Company Accounts (DCA) form.

Related Forms to Form AA02

If a company is not dormant anymore, HMRC need to know that a company or organisation has become ‘active’. That is, receiving income, trading or conducting business. You must inform HMRC within three months of the business activity starting. To do so, you would need to fill the CT41G form.
