 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 in Shetland Need Confirmation Statement Filing?

Most UK companies need to deliver a confirmation statement to Companies House at least once every 12 months, and that includes companies based in Shetland. Being dormant or not currently trading does not normally remove the requirement, because the confirmation statement is about the information on the register rather than profit, turnover or tax.

Non-trading companies that are still registered at Companies House

─── 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 statutory filing made to Companies House that confirms the information held on the public register about your company is accurate and up to date. It is often called a CS01 filing or simply a confirmation statement. It is not a financial statement, so it does not report your income, expenses, profit or tax position — it simply confirms the register details, such as your registered office, directors, shareholders, people with significant control and SIC code.

Who needs to file a confirmation statement in Shetland?

Companies registered in Scotland, including those based in Shetland, generally need to file a confirmation statement with Companies House at least once every 12 months, even if the company is dormant or not trading. Limited companies, including companies limited by shares and by guarantee, usually fall within the requirement. If you are unsure whether your particular company type or circumstances require a filing, it is worth checking the position for your company before the review period ends.

How often does a confirmation statement need to be filed?

A confirmation statement is normally due at least once every 12 months, based on the company's review period rather than its accounting period. Many companies file one statement per review period, but you can file more than once during a review period if information changes and you want the register updated promptly. The filing is due within 14 days of the end of the review period, and Companies House usually sends a reminder before the date.

What information do I need to check before filing?

Before filing, you should check the information Companies House already holds and confirm whether it is still correct. That typically covers the registered office address, the company name, director and secretary details, shareholder details, share capital and the statement of capital, people with significant control, and your SIC code. Some changes, such as appointments, resignations, share allotments or address changes, must be reported to Companies House separately rather than waiting for the next confirmation statement.

Does a dormant company need to file a confirmation statement?

Yes, in most cases. A dormant or non-trading company is still a registered company, so the confirmation statement requirement normally continues even when there is no trading activity to report. Dormancy can affect what you file elsewhere — for example your accounts and Corporation Tax position — but the confirmation statement is about confirming register information rather than reporting financial activity, so the two should not be confused.

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

No, they are three separate filings. The confirmation statement confirms register information at Companies House. Annual accounts report your company's financial position for an accounting period and are also filed at Companies House. A Corporation Tax Return (CT600) is filed with HMRC and deals with tax, while a VAT Return deals with VAT. Filing one of these does not satisfy the others, and each has its own deadline and purpose.

What happens if a confirmation statement is not filed?

If a confirmation statement is not delivered, the company is not meeting its Companies House filing obligation. Companies House can take enforcement action, which can include starting the process to strike the company off the register, and the directors may face consequences for the failure to file. Because the position can depend on your company's circumstances, it is best to deal with an overdue or missed filing promptly rather than leaving it unresolved.

How does professional filing work, and how do I get started?

Professional filing means someone else checks your company details, prepares the confirmation statement and submits it to Companies House on your behalf, then confirms when it has been delivered. It saves you from working through the online form yourself and reduces the risk of an error or a missed deadline. To get started, simply get in touch with your company details and any changes you know about, and our team can review what needs confirming or updating before it is filed.
