 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 Confirmation Statement Filing?

Most companies registered at Companies House need to complete Confirmation Statement Filing at least once every 12 months, and that applies to businesses in Lyme Regis just as it does anywhere else in the UK. Being dormant, quiet or not trading does not normally remove the requirement. A confirmation statement confirms that the register is correct — it is not the same as annual accounts or a Corporation Tax Return.

Dormant companies with no trading activity in the period
Non-trading companies that have had no business transactions
Micro entities and small companies limited by shares or by guarantee
Companies whose directors, shareholders or people with significant control have changed during the year

What Is a Confirmation Statement and What Does It Do?

A confirmation statement — often referred to by its form name, CS01 — is the filing you make to Companies House to confirm that the information held about your company is accurate and up to date as at the date you file it. It is a confirmation of your company's public record, not a financial document, so it is completely separate from your annual accounts and your Corporation Tax Return.

Shareholders, share capital and any share transfers during the period
People with significant control (PSC) and their recorded interests

─── 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, usually using form CS01, that confirms the information already held about your company is accurate and up to date. It is a check on your company's public record rather than a financial report. That means it is a separate filing from your statutory annual accounts and from your Corporation Tax Return, even though all three may fall due in the same general period. It generally needs to be filed at least once every 12 months, and the information you confirm should be correct on the date you submit it.

Who needs Confirmation Statement Filing in Lyme Regis?

Any company registered at Companies House needs to confirm its details periodically, and that includes companies based in or operating from Lyme Regis, whether they are trading actively, dormant or not trading at all. Limited liability partnerships and some other registered entities also have confirmation statement obligations. If you are not sure whether your company needs one, or when your next review period ends, we can check the position for you. If you are unsure, it is always better to check rather than assume nothing is required.

How often does a confirmation statement need to be filed?

In most cases a confirmation statement must be filed at least once every 12 months, based on your company's own 12-month review period rather than the calendar year. Your review period is set by Companies House and is shown on your company record, and each new review period follows on from the last one. If your company information changes partway through a period, you can file more than one confirmation statement during that period so the register reflects the change sooner. Importantly, this review period is not the same as your accounting period or your annual accounts deadline.

What information do I need to check before filing?

Before filing, you should check the details Companies House holds about your company, including the registered office address, the directors and company secretary, shareholders and share capital, people with significant control, and the SIC codes describing your activities. You also confirm that the statement about the company's lawful purpose is still correct. If something has changed, it is not always enough to simply note it in the confirmation statement — certain changes, such as a change of registered office or the appointment or resignation of a director, need to be reported to Companies House separately, and sometimes on a different form.

Do dormant or non-trading companies need to file a confirmation statement?

Yes, in most cases. Being dormant or not trading does not normally remove the requirement to file a confirmation statement, because the purpose of the filing is to confirm that the register is accurate rather than to report trading activity or profit. A dormant company may still have a registered office, directors and shareholders whose details need confirming. Dormancy for accounts or tax purposes is a different concept from the confirmation statement obligation, so it is worth treating them as separate matters and checking what applies to your company.

Is a confirmation statement the same as annual accounts or a Corporation Tax Return?

No, these are three distinct filings. A confirmation statement goes to Companies House and confirms that the information on the public register is correct. Annual accounts, also filed at Companies House, are the company's statutory financial statements covering an accounting period. A Corporation Tax Return, usually submitted as form CT600, goes to HMRC and reports the company's taxable profits and tax position for an accounting period. A company may need to complete all three, but they are prepared for different reasons, sent to different places and have their own separate timelines.

What happens if a confirmation statement is not filed?

If a confirmation statement is not filed, the filing becomes overdue and Companies House can take steps to follow up on it. The practical consequence is that your company's public record drifts out of date, which is unhelpful when banks, lenders, suppliers or customers check your details. Rather than leaving it to the point where you are dealing with an overdue filing, it is far simpler to keep on top of it each review period. If you have missed one, we can help you understand the position and get things back on track.

How does professional Confirmation Statement Filing work, and how do I get started?

When you work with us, we start by reviewing the information currently held about your company at Companies House, so we can flag anything that looks out of date before the filing is submitted. We then prepare the confirmation statement, explain any separate updates or filings that may be needed, and submit the CS01 so your record stays accurate. You will get confirmation once it has been filed, with clear, transparent pricing and fixed-fee options so there are no surprises. To get started, simply get in touch with your company name and number and we will take it from there.
