Confirmation statement filing in Irvine

Confirmation statements for Irvine 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 Irvine businesses: local facts

Irvine is in the North Ayrshire council area, in Scotland. North Ayrshire has around 3,015 VAT- and PAYE-registered businesses, and 2,675 of them, about 89%, have fewer than ten employees (ONS UK Business Counts, 2026). That is the group the micro-entity rules were written for.

The largest groups of micro businesses in North Ayrshire are construction (425), wholesale and retail (415) and professional, scientific and technical services (300). For construction companies in Irvine, Construction Industry Scheme deductions, retentions and stage payments can distort profit, so we reconcile your CIS statements before the accounts are prepared. That puts construction at 16% of the local micro-business base.

North Ayrshire ranks 1062 of the 1105 areas we serve by number of micro businesses, and its micro share of 89% is in line with the 89% average across them. In wholesale and retail (415 micro businesses in North Ayrshire), 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. In professional, scientific and technical services (300 micro businesses in North Ayrshire), fee income, work in progress at the year end and how directors are paid are the key decisions, so we plan these with you before the accounts are finalised.

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.
