 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.

─── 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 that confirms the information Companies House holds about your company is accurate and up to date. It is submitted as a CS01 and covers details such as your registered office address, directors, shareholders, share capital, people with significant control, and SIC codes. It is a separate filing from your statutory annual accounts and from a Corporation Tax Return, so filing one does not satisfy the others.

Do I need to file a confirmation statement for my company in East Lothian?

If your company is registered at Companies House, you will generally need to file a confirmation statement at least once every 12 months, even if the company is dormant or not trading. The exact position can depend on your company's circumstances and its filing history, so it is worth checking your company record if you are unsure. Our Confirmation Statement Filing service in East Lothian is designed to take that uncertainty off your hands.

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, within a set review period. You can file more than once during that period if your company information changes and you want the public record updated sooner. The confirmation statement cycle is separate from your accounting period, so it does not follow your annual accounts deadline.

What information is checked when preparing a confirmation statement?

We typically look at your registered office address, company name, directors and secretary details, shareholder information, share capital, people with significant control, and your SIC codes. If something on the record is out of date, we can help you put it right. Some changes have to be reported to Companies House separately rather than being dealt with through the confirmation statement itself, and we will tell you when that applies.

Does a dormant company need to file a confirmation statement?

Yes, in most cases. Being dormant or not trading for accounting and tax purposes does not normally remove the requirement to file a confirmation statement. A dormant company may have fewer changes to report, but the filing itself still needs to be made. If you are unsure whether your company counts as dormant or what it still needs to file, we can help you work through it.

What is the difference between a confirmation statement and annual accounts?

A confirmation statement confirms that the information Companies House holds about your company is correct. Annual accounts are the financial statements that report your company's position and performance for an accounting period, and they have their own filing deadline linked to your accounting reference date. These are two separate filings, and completing one does not discharge the other.

How is a confirmation statement different from a Corporation Tax Return?

A confirmation statement goes to Companies House and deals with company information. A Corporation Tax Return, often submitted as a CT600, goes to HMRC and deals with your company's tax position for an accounting period. They are separate submissions to separate organisations, and neither replaces the other.

What happens if a confirmation statement is not filed?

If a confirmation statement is not filed, Companies House can take action, which may include steps to strike the company off the register, and directors can face further consequences. Rather than waiting for a reminder to become a problem, it is usually simpler to get the filing prepared and submitted promptly. If you have fallen behind, we can help you review where things stand and get the filing back on track.

How does professional Confirmation Statement Filing in East Lothian work?

We start by reviewing the information currently held for your company, then prepare your confirmation statement and let you know if anything needs updating first. Once you are happy with the details, we submit the CS01 to Companies House and confirm when it has been filed. You keep control of your company information while we handle the administrative side of the submission.

How do I get started with Confirmation Statement Filing in East Lothian?

Getting started is simple: get in touch with Micro Entity Accounts and tell us a little about your company, including its name and company number. We will check your filing position, explain what is needed, and guide you through the next steps. If your circumstances are straightforward, the process is usually quick and low-effort on your side.
