 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.

Which Companies Need to File a Confirmation Statement?

If you run a company registered at Companies House in Edinburgh or anywhere else in the UK, you will almost certainly need to file a confirmation statement — and that includes dormant and non-trading companies. A confirmation statement is a simple annual confirmation that the information Companies House holds about your company is still correct, and it is a separate filing from your annual accounts and your Corporation Tax Return.

Limited companies, including companies limited by shares and companies limited by guarantee
Companies that are dormant or have not traded during the period
Companies with a single director and shareholder, and those with more complex ownership structures
Companies with people with significant control (PSCs) who need to be reflected in the register
Companies whose details have changed — such as a new director, a change of registered office, or a share transfer
Companies that have already filed accounts but still need to confirm their Companies House information

What Is a Confirmation Statement and Why Does It Matter?

A confirmation statement — often referred to as a CS01 — is the document that confirms the information Companies House holds about your company is accurate and up to date as at a particular date. It is not a set of accounts and it is not a tax return. It is a snapshot check of your company record, and UK companies generally need to file one at least once every 12 months, even if the company is dormant or not trading.

Registered office address and the company's registered name
Details of directors and company secretaries, where applicable
Shareholder information, including shares issued and transfers
People with significant control (PSCs) and their details
The company's statement of capital and SIC codes
Confirmation that the company is complying with its obligations around registers and records
Where the information has changed, some changes must be reported to Companies House separately rather than waiting for the confirmation statement — we can tell you which route applies
The confirmation statement is filed with Companies House; annual accounts and a Corporation Tax Return (CT600) are separate filings with separate purposes and deadlines

─── 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 to Companies House that confirms the information held about your company is accurate and up to date. It sets out details such as your registered office address, directors, shareholders, people with significant control and statement of capital, and you confirm those details as at the confirmation date. It is not a financial document — it is a check of your company record, and it is entirely separate from annual accounts or a Corporation Tax Return.

Who needs to file a confirmation statement in Edinburgh?

Any company registered at Companies House, including companies based in Edinburgh, generally needs to file a confirmation statement at least once every 12 months. That applies whether the company is actively trading, dormant, or not currently trading. If you are unsure whether your company falls within the requirement, it is worth checking your company's filing history and review period at Companies House, or asking an accountant to confirm your position.

How often does a confirmation statement need to be filed?

For most companies, a confirmation statement is due at least once every 12 months, measured from the end of the previous review period rather than from your accounting period. You can also file more than one confirmation statement within a review period if something changes and you want to bring your record up to date sooner. The important thing is to track your review period so a filing does not get missed because it did not line up with your accounts deadline.

What information do I need to check before filing?

You would normally check the company's registered name and number, registered office address, directors and secretaries, shareholder details and statement of capital, people with significant control, and your SIC codes. You also confirm certain statements about your registers and records. If any of these have changed, some updates need to be reported to Companies House separately rather than being included only in the confirmation statement, so it is worth reviewing your record carefully before you submit.

Does a dormant company need to file a confirmation statement?

Yes — a dormant company is generally still required to file a confirmation statement at least once every 12 months. Being dormant or not trading affects your accounting and tax position, but it does not normally remove the confirmation statement requirement, because the filing is about confirming your company's details rather than reporting profit or loss. Dormant companies still have a company record at Companies House that needs to be kept accurate.

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

A confirmation statement confirms that your company information at Companies House is correct. Annual accounts are a financial document showing your company's position and performance for an accounting period. They are separate filings with separate purposes and their own deadlines, and one does not replace the other. Filing a confirmation statement does not mean your accounts obligations are dealt with, and filing accounts does not mean your confirmation statement is up to date.

Is a confirmation statement the same as a Corporation Tax Return?

No. A Corporation Tax Return, often referred to as a CT600, is submitted to HMRC to report your company's taxable profits and calculate Corporation Tax. A confirmation statement is submitted to Companies House and deals only with your company information, such as directors, shareholders and registered office details. They go to different authorities, serve completely different purposes, and are governed by their own deadlines.

What happens if a confirmation statement is not filed?

If a confirmation statement is not filed, Companies House may take action, and in serious cases a company can be removed from the register. The exact consequences depend on the company's circumstances and how long the filing has been outstanding, which is why we would always recommend dealing with an overdue confirmation statement as soon as you become aware of it. If you have missed a filing, we can review the position and help you get back on track.

How does professional confirmation statement filing work?

You send us your company details or give us permission to review what Companies House holds, we check the information against the confirmation statement, flag anything that needs updating, and prepare and submit the filing for you. We explain anything that needs a separate notification and confirm once the submission is complete. It is a straightforward process designed to take the admin off your desk and give you confidence that your record is accurate.

How do I get started with Confirmation Statement Filing in Edinburgh?

Get in touch with Micro Entity Accounts and tell us a little about your company — its name, company number, and when your last confirmation statement was filed. We will review your position, let you know what is needed, and talk you through the options, including any Companies House information updates that should be made alongside the filing. From there, we can handle the confirmation statement submission and keep you posted on progress.
