 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Imran to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable accountant. He helped me sort out a very complicated backlog of accounts and prepared my overdue tax returns with professionalism and attention to detail. Throughout the process, he was incredibly patient, took the time to answer all of my questions, and explained everything clearly. He guided me through each step and helped rectify issues that had built up over time, making what felt like an overwhelming situation much more manageable. I'm very pleased with the service I've received and truly appreciate his support. If you need help with your accounts or taxes, I would highly recommend Imran.

The work was completed promptly, my tax return was successfully filed, and I received a refund of overpaid tax. I found the cooperation efficient and helpful. Special thanks to Muhammad Saifullah for his assistance.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We worked with a few different accountants before finally settling with Accotax, and we’re really glad we did. Their team is great. Abdul is responsive and easy to reach whenever I have a question, which makes a big difference. They take the time to understand how our business works and what our needs are. They are very knowledgeable, and when they don’t have the answer straight away, they take the time to look into it and get back to us quickly. Anum, who looks after our account on a day-to-day basis, including reconciling invoices and preparing the annual accounts, is amazing. She is professional, efficient, and follows the processes we have put in place together. She's also very quickin getting back to us whenever needed. We’re very happy to work with her and hope to continue doing so for as long as possible. Overall, Accotax has made our accounting experience much smoother and easier. We see them as a long-term partner as our business continues to grow. I would 100% recommend them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have really impressed to date with all dealings with Accotax highly enough. From day one, they've made what can often be a complicated and stressful part of running a business feel straightforward and hassle-free. A special mention has to go to Anum, who has been friendly, incredibly responsive, and genuinely cares about providing the best possible service. No question is ever too much trouble, and she consistently goes above and beyond to make sure everything is dealt with efficiently. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for an accountant they can genuinely trust.

What Is a Confirmation Statement and What Does It Do?

A confirmation statement — often referred to as a CS01 — is a filing made at Companies House to confirm that the information held about your company is accurate and up to date. It is not a set of accounts and it is not a tax return. It is a checkpoint: you look at the record Companies House already holds and either confirm it is correct or report what has changed.

Registered office address and the company's registered name
Directors and company secretary details, including appointments and resignations
Shareholders, share capital and the statement of capital
People with significant control (PSC) information
Standard industrial classification (SIC) code and the nature of the company's business
Statement that the company has complied with its legal obligations, where applicable
Any changes that need to be reported separately to Companies House rather than waiting for the next confirmation statement
Confirmation that the confirmation statement is a separate filing from annual accounts and a Corporation Tax Return (CT600)

─── FAQs

Your Questions, Answered

Common questions about our confirmation statement filing service, deadlines and what Companies House requires.

What is a confirmation statement?

A confirmation statement is a filing made at Companies House that confirms the information held about your company is accurate and up to date. It is sometimes called a CS01 and forms part of the company's ongoing record-keeping obligations. It is not a financial document: it does not report profit, losses, or tax, and it is not a substitute for statutory accounts or a Corporation Tax Return. Its purpose is simply to confirm, at least once every 12 months, that Companies House holds the correct details for your company.

Does my Shaftesbury company need to file a confirmation statement?

If your company is registered at Companies House, it will generally need to file a confirmation statement, regardless of where in the UK it is based, including Shaftesbury. The requirement applies to active companies, dormant companies, and companies that are not currently trading. If you are unsure whether your company still needs to file, or whether a particular change should be reported another way, it is worth checking your company's circumstances rather than assuming it does not apply. A professional service can review your position and confirm what is needed.

How often does a confirmation statement need to be filed?

UK companies generally need to file a confirmation statement at least once every 12 months, even if nothing has changed and even if the company is dormant or not trading. This 12-month cycle is tied to the confirmation statement review period rather than to your accounting period or annual accounts deadline, which are separate. Companies can also file more than one confirmation statement during a review period when information changes — for example, after a director appointment or a change of registered office — if they want the public record updated sooner rather than later.

What information does a confirmation statement check or update?

The confirmation statement confirms the details Companies House already holds, so it is worth reviewing your registered office address, directors and secretary, shareholders and share capital, people with significant control (PSC) information, and your SIC code describing the company's business activity. If something on the record is wrong or out of date, it needs to be corrected. Some changes — such as certain director appointments, share allotments, or PSC changes — may need to be reported separately at the time they happen rather than waiting for the confirmation statement, and those separate filings often carry their own deadlines.

Do dormant or non-trading companies need to file a confirmation statement?

Yes, in most cases. A company being dormant or not trading does not normally remove the requirement to file a confirmation statement, because the filing is about confirming the record Companies House holds rather than reporting trading activity. Dormant companies still have a legal existence, directors, and a registered office, and that information still needs to be correct on the public register. There are companies in specific circumstances where the position can differ, so if you are unsure, it is sensible to check before assuming no filing is due.

Is a confirmation statement the same as annual accounts or a Corporation Tax Return?

No — these are three separate requirements. A confirmation statement confirms that the information Companies House holds about your company is accurate and is filed at Companies House. Annual accounts are the statutory financial statements for your company, also filed at Companies House. A Corporation Tax Return, often called a CT600, is filed with HMRC to report the company's taxable profits and is not the same document as either of the other two. Filing a confirmation statement does not replace your accounts or your tax return, and it does not make your company compliant with every other Companies House or tax obligation.

What happens if a confirmation statement is not filed?

If a confirmation statement is not filed when it is due, the information Companies House holds about your company can become inaccurate and out of date. Companies House treats the confirmation statement as a legal filing requirement, and where it is not met the registrar may take action, which can include starting the process to remove the company from the register. The best approach is to file as soon as you realise it has been missed and to correct any information that is no longer accurate at the same time. If you are unsure of your position, seek advice promptly.

How does professional Confirmation Statement Filing work?

A professional service handles the process for you from start to finish. We check the information Companies House currently holds for your company, confirm the details with you, flag anything that looks wrong or needs updating, and then prepare and submit your confirmation statement. Where changes are needed — such as a new registered office, director, or shareholder details — we can support the related Companies House information updates as well. Everything is explained in plain English with clear, transparent pricing, so you know what is being done and when. To get started, simply send us your company details and we will take it from there.
