Built for dormant companies, group subsidiaries and advisers that need a low-complexity filing handled cleanly. Use the simple pricing route to confirm the filing need, avoid overpaying and keep inactive entities compliant.
Dormant company iXBRL tagging typically costs £25-£50 for a simple UK dormant company account. It is usually the lowest-cost iXBRL category because dormant accounts contain fewer figures, fewer notes and fewer tagging points than active company accounts.
A dormant company may not always need iXBRL tagging. If HMRC has accepted the company as dormant for Corporation Tax, a Company Tax Return is normally not required unless HMRC asks for one or the company starts trading again. If dormant accounts are submitted as part of an online Company Tax Return, the accounts may need to be in iXBRL format.
Our entity-based iXBRL pricing model gives you complete budget certainty, whether you're tagging one financial statement or multiple. From £30 per entity with 48-hour turnaround. Ready for 2027 mandatory software filing.

Dormant company iXBRL tagging usually costs £25-£50 for a simple UK dormant company account. The exact fee depends on file readiness, turnaround and whether optional filing support is needed. Dormant company tagging is usually cheaper than active-company tagging because there are fewer figures, notes and tagging points to review.
Not always. If HMRC has accepted the company as dormant for Corporation Tax, a Company Tax Return is normally not required unless HMRC asks for one or the company starts trading again. If dormant accounts are submitted as part of an online Company Tax Return, the accounts may need to be in iXBRL format.
Dormant accounts are simpler to tag. They usually contain limited disclosures, fewer monetary figures and fewer taxonomy contexts than active trading accounts. That smaller review scope is why dormant company iXBRL tagging commonly sits in the lowest pricing band.
The tagging service includes AI-assisted iXBRL tagging, specialist review, HMRC validation checks, filing-ready output and revision support before approval. Optional HMRC CT600 filing and Companies House filing support are available separately where required.
No complexity. No surprises. Your accounts tagged, reviewed, and validation-ready in 24-48 hours. From £25. Optional filing support available separately. Money-back guarantee.
Fixed pricing. Expert support. Fast delivery.
