Confirmation statement filing in Esher

Confirmation statements for Esher companies

A confirmation statement tells Companies House that the information it holds about your company is correct: registered office, directors, shareholders and people with significant control. It is due at least once every 12 months, and the statement must be filed within 14 days of the end of your review period. Missing it can lead to the company being struck off.

In construction (960 micro businesses in Elmbridge), Construction Industry Scheme deductions, retentions and stage payments can distort profit, so we reconcile your CIS statements before the accounts are prepared. In information and communication (885 micro businesses in Elmbridge), software subscriptions, equipment and contractor invoices are common, and contractors often ask about IR35, so we review both when preparing your return.
