Hi,
I have an Annual Return (AR) date in the spring for my limited company which has not been trading at all to date. I want to keep the company so I must complete the AR.
From what I can gather this is my first AR and according to the messages on CORE I do not have to enclose accounts.
- Do I just have to fill out the B1 and submit it online via CORE for AR ?
- Are there any other forms I need to submit during the year ?
- Can I prepare accounts by myself to submit in subsequent years ?
I got in touch with an accountant and he offered to do the limited accounts for €1500 which is too much. I really want an cheaper alternative.
Buy the returns for a small company online from the cro. I just copied one.

hi
I am going to go ahead with the dormant accounts option. Its costing me €188 which is ok as I do expect to use it in 2013.
I have a question, is filing my B1 along with dormant account the correct solution for me ? I hope to use the company in 2013 and I was wondering if filing dormant accounts signals that I wish to close it?
Nope.
Filing accounts means you want to use it.
Of course. As long as everything is up to date at the CRO.
Sorry, this is totally incorrect.
Filing accounts is not optional, it is compulsory, regardless of the directors' future intentions regarding the company.
However accounts need not, and should not, be filed with a company's first return, made up to the date six months after incorporation.
Unless you know what you're doing here, you should get professional assistance. The CRO can and will reject improperly completed returns and you don't want to incur late fees and/or lose audit exemption if this happens.
If someone has tried to charge you for preparing abridged accounts that you don't need, you should be asking them why.
Yes everything is up to date until March 2013. Thanks for your reply !
hmmm....You don't need the account in the first year. It didn't trade since so I can go the dormant accounts route. I hope to trade soon and can do so with my current approach so the above is not very helpful and confusing.
Just to emphasise my earlier point, Filing accounts is not optional, it is compulsory, even for a dormant company.I logged into core.ie website and there are two messages informing me A B1-ANNUAL RETURN - NO ACCOUNT has been registered FOR this COMPANY.
That was back in 2012-03-13. My next AR is 08/03/2013. I am not 100% sure if accounts are required this time.
