Confirmation statement filing in Thornliebank

Confirmation statements for Thornliebank 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.

Companies House confirmation statement for Thornliebank businesses: local facts

Thornliebank is in the East Renfrewshire council area, in Scotland. East Renfrewshire has around 2,740 VAT- and PAYE-registered businesses, and 2,490 of them, about 91%, have fewer than ten employees (ONS UK Business Counts, 2026). That is the group the micro-entity rules were written for.

The largest groups of micro businesses in East Renfrewshire are professional, scientific and technical services (485), construction (315) and wholesale and retail (305). If you work in professional, scientific and technical services in Thornliebank, 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. That puts professional, scientific and technical services at 19% of the local micro-business base.

East Renfrewshire ranks 1069 of the 1105 areas we serve by number of micro businesses, and its micro share of 91% is above the 89% average across them. In construction (315 micro businesses in East Renfrewshire), Construction Industry Scheme deductions, retentions and stage payments can distort profit, so we reconcile your CIS statements before the accounts are prepared. In wholesale and retail (305 micro businesses in East Renfrewshire), 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.

Scottish companies are registered with Companies House in the same way as English ones and the filing deadlines are identical. Scottish income tax bands apply to salary, but dividends and Corporation Tax follow UK rules.
