Frequently asked questions about

Dormant Company Accounts

What is a dormant account?

A dormant account refers to a bank or financial account that has had no activity for an extended period, usually ranging from six months to a year, depending on the institution's policy.

Why might my account become dormant?

If there hasn't been any money moving through your account for a predetermined amount of time—such as deposits, withdrawals, or transactions—it may become dormant.

Can I still access funds in a dormant account?

Yes, you can still access funds in a dormant account. However, you may need to follow specific procedures set by the bank to reactivate the account, such as providing identification and updating contact information..

Are there any fees associated with dormant accounts?

Some banks may charge dormant account fees if there has been no activity for an extended period. These fees vary depending on the institution's policies and can include monthly maintenance fees or account reactivation fees.

Do I still need to pay taxes even if my account is dormant and I'm no longer conducting business?

If your account is dormant and you're not actively conducting business, you may not have tax obligations related to business income. However, you may still have personal tax obligations depending on your individual circumstances, such as income from other sources or assets. It's advisable to consult with a tax professional or accountant to assess your specific situation and determine any tax liabilities or requirements you may have.

How can I prevent my account from becoming dormant?

To prevent your account from becoming dormant, ensure that you have regular financial activity, such as making deposits or withdrawals. Additionally, keep your contact information updated with the bank to receive notifications about your account status.
