 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.

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 UK Companies Need Confirmation Statement Filing?

Most companies registered at Companies House in Watford and across the UK need to complete Confirmation Statement Filing at least once every 12 months, regardless of whether they have traded during that period. Being dormant, quiet or not currently trading does not normally remove the requirement — the confirmation statement is about confirming that the information on the public register is correct, not about reporting profit or tax.

Active trading companies with employees, customers or regular transactions
Dormant companies that are not currently trading or receiving income
Non-trading companies that are simply being kept on the register
Companies limited by shares, limited by guarantee and LLP-style structures where a confirmation statement applies
Companies whose directors, shareholders, registered office or people with significant control details have changed
Newly incorporated companies approaching their first confirmation statement due date

What Is a Confirmation Statement, and What Does It Do?

A confirmation statement — often referred to by its form name, CS01 — is a filing made to Companies House that confirms the information held about your company is accurate and up to date as at a specific date. It is not a set of accounts and it is not a tax return. Think of it as a regular check-in with the public register rather than a financial report.

Registered office address and the company's single alternative inspection location (SAIL), where one is used
The company's registered name, company number and principal business activity (SIC code)
Details of directors, secretaries and their appointment or resignation dates
Shareholder information, including share classes, amounts paid and any transfers
People with significant control (PSC) details and the nature of their control
A statement of confirmation that the information is correct, plus any lawful updates made alongside it
Where changes are needed, those changes may need to be reported to Companies House separately rather than simply noted on the confirmation statement

Want Your Confirmation Statement Filed Accurately and On Time? Let Micro Entity Accounts Take Care of the Details

─── 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 Companies House holds about your company is accurate and up to date on the date you make the statement. It covers details such as your registered office address, directors, shareholders, people with significant control and your company's principal business activity. It is not a financial document — no profit, loss or tax figures are reported on it.

Who needs to file a confirmation statement?

Generally, any company registered at Companies House needs to file a confirmation statement at least once every 12 months, even if it has not traded or has been dormant. That includes active trading companies, dormant companies, non-trading companies being kept on the register, and companies limited by guarantee. If your company has never traded or you believe a different treatment applies to your circumstances, it is worth checking the position rather than assuming you are exempt.

How often does a confirmation statement need to be filed?

The usual position is at least once every 12 months during a review period, and many companies file once a year around their confirmation statement due date. A company can also file more than one confirmation statement within the same review period if its information changes and the directors want the register updated promptly. The confirmation statement cycle is separate from your company's accounting period and its annual accounts deadline, so do not assume they fall on the same date.

Can I file more than one confirmation statement in a year?

Yes. A company may choose to file an additional confirmation statement during the same review period, for example after a significant change such as a new director or a share transfer, to bring the public record up to date. Filing more than once does not remove the need to file again when the next review period falls due. If you are unsure whether an extra filing is worthwhile, we can talk through your options.

What information do I need to check before filing?

You should check the registered office address, the company's principal business activity, the details of directors and any secretary, shareholder information including share classes and amounts paid, and the details held for people with significant control. It is also worth confirming your company name and number are correct. If something has changed, the change may need to be reported to Companies House separately, rather than simply being noted on the confirmation statement.

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

In most cases, yes. Dormancy or a period without trading does not normally remove the requirement to confirm that the register is accurate. A dormant company may still have a registered office, directors, shareholders and people with significant control on record, and the confirmation statement is the mechanism for confirming those details remain correct. Dormant companies may also have separate filing obligations, such as annual accounts and Corporation Tax matters, which are handled differently.

What is the difference between a confirmation statement and annual accounts?

They are two completely different filings. A confirmation statement confirms that the information Companies House holds is accurate and up to date — it is about company details rather than money. Annual accounts report the company's financial position and performance for an accounting period and are prepared in a required format. Filing one does not satisfy the requirement to file the other, and their deadlines are calculated separately.

Is a confirmation statement the same as a Corporation Tax Return?

No. A confirmation statement is filed with Companies House and confirms company information. A Corporation Tax Return, often called a CT600, is filed with HMRC and reports the company's taxable profits and tax position for an accounting period. They go to different bodies, serve different purposes and have their own deadlines. Completing Confirmation Statement Filing does not deal with your Corporation Tax Return, VAT Returns or any other tax filing.

What happens if a confirmation statement is not filed?

Failing to file a confirmation statement when it is due can lead to the company being in default with Companies House, and the company and its officers may face consequences. The exact outcome depends on the circumstances and the period involved. The practical answer is straightforward: it is far easier to file on time than to correct a missed filing later, and we can help you get back on track if a deadline has already slipped past.

How does professional Confirmation Statement Filing work?

We start by reviewing the information Companies House currently holds for your company and comparing it with what you tell us is correct. Where something has changed, we explain whether it needs to be reported separately or whether it can be dealt with alongside your confirmation statement. We then prepare the confirmation statement, confirm the details with you and submit the filing. If you would like help getting started, simply get in touch and we will take it from there.
