How DormantFile compares
There are a few ways to file a dormant or non-trading company. Here is an honest side-by-side of the main ones — what each actually covers, how you file, and what it costs. Some are close to us; we have shown them fairly.

Prices and features as published by each provider and verified in July 2026 — please check each provider for the latest, as these change. DormantFile isn’t VAT registered, so £19 is the total you pay. Competitor prices are shown as each provider publishes them, excluding VAT where stated — most add 20% VAT at checkout.
WeFile charges per filing with no subscription, so a single dormant year can look cheaper than an annual plan; DormantFile’s price includes deadline reminders and carries your details forward year to year. EasyDigitalFiling has no dormant-specific plan — a dormant company uses its Corporation Tax or micro-entity tiers.
Where we’re different
TinyTax and WeFile also file both sides self-serve — they’re genuine alternatives. Here’s what you get with us that a general filing tool doesn’t give a dormant company.
Built only for dormant companies
We do one job. Accounts and the nil CT600 for dormant and non-trading companies — not VAT, not Self Assessment, not trading accounts. The whole product is shaped around your once-a-year filing.
A free watchdog, even between filings
Keep getting Companies House deadline reminders, confirmation-statement dates and strike-off alerts at no charge — you only subscribe in the year you actually file.
Optional autopilot
Store your authentication code once and we can file your dormant accounts for you each year, with a reminder before anything is sent. Turn it off any time.
Rejected returns are free to fix
If Companies House or HMRC rejects a return, you correct and resubmit as many times as you need until it's accepted — at no extra charge. Your subscription covers every attempt.
