Confirmation statement filing in Leyland

Confirmation statements for Leyland 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.

The largest groups of micro businesses in South Ribble are construction (635), wholesale and retail (555) and professional, scientific and technical services (460). If you work in construction in Leyland, 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 18% of the local micro-business base.

South Ribble ranks 957 of the 1105 areas we serve by number of micro businesses, and its micro share of 86% is below the 89% average across them. In wholesale and retail (555 micro businesses in South Ribble), 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 (460 micro businesses in South Ribble), 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.
