DormantFile vs TinyTax
TinyTax and DormantFile both file dormant accounts to Companies House and the nil Company Tax Return (CT600) to HMRC, and both send deadline reminders. What TinyTax leaves to you is the rest of the year: checking your public record for changes you didn't make, and keeping track of which of your directors still have to verify their identity. DormantFile checks your public record every day, tracks your directors' identity checks, and can prepare next year's accounts for you to confirm with one click. Our price is the total, too — from £19/yr with no VAT added, where TinyTax publishes £20/yr excluding VAT.

Choose DormantFile if…
- You want more than reminders: a daily check of your public record with hijack alerts, identity-verification tracking for every director, and optional autopilot so next year is one click.
- You want a service built only for companies and LLPs that aren't trading — including flat management and right-to-manage (RTM) companies limited by guarantee — that tells you which accounts type applies and previews exactly what will be sent.
- You'd rather a rejected filing be a non-event: correct and resubmit as many times as it takes at no extra charge — the subscription covers every attempt.
Questions, answered
- What does DormantFile do that TinyTax doesn't?
- Both file the two returns direct to Companies House and HMRC. On top of that, DormantFile checks your public record every day and emails you about changes you didn't make — to the company's directors, registered address, owners or name — tracks which of your directors still need to verify their identity, and can prepare next year's accounts for you to confirm with one click. With TinyTax, keeping an eye on the register and your directors' identity checks is up to you.
- How do the prices compare?
- DormantFile is from £19/yr, and that's the total — we're not VAT registered, so nothing is added at checkout. TinyTax publishes £20/yr excluding VAT. Our price covers every attempt, too: if a return is rejected, you correct it and resubmit at no extra charge.
- Can I move to DormantFile if I filed with TinyTax last year?
- Yes. Enter your company number and we read your filing history straight from Companies House — including filings made through other services — so your dates and details carry on from wherever you left off.
