 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.

What Is a Confirmation Statement and Why Does It Matter?

A confirmation statement is a 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 not a financial document and it is not a tax return — it is a check-in with Companies House, normally required at least once every 12 months.

The registered office address and the company's registered name
The directors and company secretary (where one is appointed)
Shareholders, share capital and the statement of capital
People with significant control (PSC) and the nature of their control
Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes describing what the company does
Confirmation of the company's lawful purpose and any other details Companies House requires
Companies can file more than one confirmation statement within a review period where information changes, although certain changes — such as a new director or a change of registered office — usually need to be reported separately rather than waiting for the confirmation statement
It is completely separate from statutory annual accounts and from a Corporation Tax Return (CT600), each of which has its own purpose and its own filing route

─── 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 that confirms the information held on the public register about your company is accurate and up to date. It is sometimes referred to as a CS01 filing, after the form used. It is not a set of accounts and it is not a tax return — its purpose is simply to confirm that the details Companies House holds, such as your registered office, directors, shareholders and people with significant control, are correct as at the confirmation date. If something has changed, the confirmation statement is the point at which you confirm the current position, and some changes also need to be reported separately.

Who needs Confirmation Statement Filing?

Confirmation Statement Filing generally applies to UK limited companies, including companies limited by guarantee, and to limited liability partnerships where a confirmation statement is required. Companies based in Sidmouth are no different from any others in this respect. If your company is registered at Companies House, you should assume a confirmation statement is due unless you have confirmed otherwise for your specific circumstances. Whether you are trading actively, trading intermittently or not trading at all, the requirement usually still applies.

How often does a company need to file a confirmation statement?

In most cases a company needs to file a confirmation statement at least once every 12 months, measured from the end of its previous review period. Companies House sets a deadline that falls shortly after the end of each review period, so it is worth diarising the date rather than relying on memory. You can also file more than one confirmation statement within the same review period — for example, after a change to your shareholders or share capital — if you want the register to reflect the current position sooner rather than later.

What information is checked or updated in a confirmation statement?

As part of Confirmation Statement Filing, you are confirming the accuracy of the information Companies House holds. That typically includes the registered office address, the company name, the directors and any company secretary, the shareholders and share capital (the statement of capital), the people with significant control and the nature of their control, and the SIC codes describing your company's activities. It also includes confirming the company's lawful purpose. If any of these details have changed, the confirmation statement should reflect the correct position, and certain changes may need to be reported to Companies House separately as well.

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

Generally, yes. Being dormant or not currently trading does not normally remove the requirement to file a confirmation statement. Dormancy affects what you do in other areas — for example, whether you need to prepare full statutory accounts or file a Corporation Tax Return — but the confirmation statement is about confirming the company's details on the register, not about the company's financial activity. A dormant company still has directors, shareholders and a registered office, and those details still need to be confirmed at least once every 12 months.

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

No — these are three separate things. A confirmation statement confirms company information held by Companies House and is filed with Companies House. Annual accounts are the company's statutory financial statements, also filed with Companies House, and they deal with the financial performance and position of the company. A Corporation Tax Return (CT600) is a tax filing made to HMRC. None of them replaces the others, and being up to date with one does not mean you are up to date with the rest. It is also worth remembering that the confirmation statement is not tied to your accounting period or your accounts deadline in the way people sometimes assume.

What happens if a confirmation statement is not filed?

If a confirmation statement is not filed when it is due, Companies House can take action against the company, which may include starting the process to strike the company off the register. Directors can also face consequences for failing to deliver the required filing, and the company's public record becomes out of date, which can cause practical problems with banks, lenders and anyone checking your details. The exact consequences depend on the circumstances, so if you have missed a filing it is best to deal with it as soon as possible rather than waiting.

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

With a professional service, you pass over the responsibility for preparing and submitting the confirmation statement. We check the information currently held by Companies House against the details you provide, highlight anything that looks incorrect or incomplete, help you update your Companies House information where needed, and handle the confirmation statement submission on time. To begin, simply get in touch with the company name and registration number, and we will confirm what is due, what needs checking and what the next steps look like for your company in Sidmouth.
