DormantFile vs EasyDigitalFiling
EasyDigitalFiling is Corporation Tax software built for companies with real numbers: trading accounts, tax computations, the works. It has no dormant-specific plan, so a dormant company filing its accounts and a Company Tax Return with nothing to pay (a nil CT600) pays its Corporation Tax or micro-entity prices — £80 for the tax return alone, up to £139 with the accounts, plus VAT, per filing. DormantFile is built only for dormant and non-trading companies, and priced like the ten-minute job a dormant year actually is: from £19/yr for both returns and every attempt, with deadline reminders, a daily check of your public record and optional autopilot included.

Choose DormantFile if…
- Your company is dormant or non-trading and you want its yearly paperwork — the accounts and the nil CT600, deadline reminders, register monitoring — from something built for exactly that, at a fraction of a trading tool's per-filing price.
- You'd value the dormant-specific safety rails: we check what the register says about your company, tell you which accounts type applies, and preview exactly what will be submitted.
- You want the between-years layer — reminder ladder, daily hijack watch, optional autopilot — that filing-only software doesn't attempt.
Questions, answered
- Can DormantFile handle my company once it starts trading?
- No. We file dormant accounts (including ones that still carry figures from past trading years), short micro-entity accounts (FRS 105) for non-trading companies, and the nil CT600. Once a company trades, its accounts and tax return need an accountant. For as long as it stays dormant or non-trading, those are exactly the filings we're built for.
- Why is there such a price gap?
- EasyDigitalFiling publishes £80 (CT600 only) to £139 (micro-entity accounts, CT600 and Companies House submission) + VAT per filing, because it's built for full Corporation Tax work. A dormant company's returns are short — a balance sheet that doesn't move and a tax return with nothing to pay — so you shouldn't pay trading-software prices to file them. DormantFile files both from £19/yr.
