 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.

 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.

Who Needs Confirmation Statement Filing in Shetland Islands?

Most companies registered in the UK, including those based in the Shetland Islands, are expected to file a confirmation statement — whether they are actively trading, dormant or simply not trading at the moment. The confirmation statement is a separate filing from statutory annual accounts and a Corporation Tax Return; its job is to confirm that the information Companies House holds about the company is accurate and up to date.

Active trading companies that have been operating during the review period
Dormant companies, which generally still need to file even with no trading activity
Non-trading companies that have not yet started trading or have paused activity
Companies limited by shares or by guarantee, and limited liability partnerships where a confirmation statement applies
Companies whose details have changed, such as directors, shareholders or the registered office address

What Is a Confirmation Statement and What Does It Do?

A confirmation statement, often referred to as form CS01, is the document a company uses to confirm that the information Companies House holds about it is accurate and up to date. It is not a financial filing — it is a check on your company's public record, and it is completely separate from your annual accounts and your Corporation Tax Return, which are prepared on different bases and sent for different purposes.

Registered office address and, where relevant, any SAIL address
Directors, company secretary (where appointed) and their recorded details
Shareholders, share capital and the way shares are held
People with significant control (PSCs) and the register kept by the company
Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes describing what the company does
Any other company details Companies House asks you to check at the time of filing

─── 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 at Companies House to confirm that the information held about your company is accurate and up to date. It is often called form CS01 or a Companies House confirmation statement. Importantly, it is not a financial document: it does not report profit, turnover or tax, and it is not the same as your annual accounts or your Corporation Tax Return. It simply lets you check and confirm the company details on the public register, such as the registered office, directors, shareholders and people with significant control.

Does every company need to file a confirmation statement?

In general, UK companies need to file a confirmation statement at least once every 12 months, and this applies to companies in the Shetland Islands just as it does elsewhere. That includes companies that are trading, companies that are not trading, and companies that are dormant. Whether a specific company has to file at a particular point can depend on its own circumstances and filing history, so if you are unsure it is worth checking your company record or speaking to someone who handles confirmation statement submissions regularly.

Can a dormant company be required to file a confirmation statement?

Yes. Being dormant for accounting and tax purposes does not normally remove the requirement to file a confirmation statement. A dormant company still has a public record at Companies House showing its registered office, directors, shareholders and people with significant control, and the confirmation statement is the mechanism for confirming that this information remains correct. Many owners assume that no trading means no filings, which is a common misunderstanding — the confirmation statement is about the accuracy of company information, not about activity or income.

How often does a confirmation statement need to be filed?

The general rule is at least once every 12 months, calculated by reference to your company's review period rather than its accounting period. Companies House normally sets the due date from the end of that review period and issues a reminder, so the exact date depends on your company's own filing history. It is also possible to file more than one confirmation statement during a review period — for example, when details change and you want the public record brought up to date sooner rather than later.

What information is checked or updated on a confirmation statement?

The confirmation statement is your opportunity to check the key details Companies House holds and confirm they are correct. That typically includes the registered office address, the directors and company secretary, shareholders and share capital, people with significant control, and the SIC codes describing the company's activities. If nothing has changed, you may simply confirm the existing information. If something has changed, the confirmation statement lets you confirm the updated position — although some changes must also be reported to Companies House separately, such as the appointment or resignation of a director or a change of registered office.

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

No, these are three separate obligations. Annual accounts are the company's statutory financial statements, prepared for its accounting period and filed at Companies House. A Corporation Tax Return, usually form CT600, is submitted to HMRC to report the company's taxable profits and work out the corporation tax due. The confirmation statement goes to Companies House only, contains no financial figures, and exists purely to confirm that the company information on the register is accurate. Filing one does not satisfy the others, and each has its own deadline.

What happens if a confirmation statement is not filed?

If a confirmation statement is not filed, the public record is left unconfirmed and the company can be shown as overdue, which may cause problems when banks, lenders or customers carry out checks. Companies House can also take further action where a company fails to comply with its filing obligations, which in serious or prolonged cases can include steps towards striking the company off the register. It is far simpler to keep the filing up to date than to deal with the consequences of letting it lapse.

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

With a professional service, the process starts with a review of your company's current record at Companies House so we can see what is already held and what may need attention. We then confirm any changes with you, prepare the confirmation statement submission, and handle any related Companies House information updates so the register reflects the correct position. Everything is explained in plain English, with clear, transparent pricing and no jargon. To begin, simply get in touch with your company details and we will talk you through the next steps.
