Confirmation statement filing in Forres

Confirmation statements for Forres 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.

Companies House confirmation statement for Forres businesses: local facts

Forres is in the Moray council area, in Scotland. ONS figures for 2026 count 3,120 VAT- or PAYE-registered businesses in Moray, and 2,725 of them (87%) employ fewer than ten people. Many are small enough to use the micro-entity regime.

The largest groups of micro businesses in Moray are agriculture, forestry and fishing (565), construction (460) and wholesale and retail (355). If you work in agriculture, forestry and fishing in Forres, seasonal income, grants and farm equipment need careful year-end treatment, so we tie your accounts to bank records and an asset register. That puts agriculture, forestry and fishing at 21% of the local micro-business base.

Moray ranks 1058 of the 1105 areas we serve by number of micro businesses, and its micro share of 87% is below the 89% average across them. In construction (460 micro businesses in Moray), Construction Industry Scheme deductions, retentions and stage payments can distort profit, so we reconcile your CIS statements before the accounts are prepared. In wholesale and retail (355 micro businesses in Moray), closing stock and the VAT treatment of different product lines are the usual pressure points, so we value stock carefully and check your VAT records.

Scottish companies are registered with Companies House in the same way as English ones and the filing deadlines are identical. Scottish income tax bands apply to salary, but dividends and Corporation Tax follow UK rules.
