 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.

─── 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 called a CS01, which is the reference for the form used. It confirms details such as your registered office, directors, shareholders, people with significant control and your SIC code. Importantly, it is not a set of statutory accounts and it is not a tax return — it is a check on the company record itself.

Who needs to file a confirmation statement in West Lothian?

Any company registered at Companies House, including those based in West Lothian, will generally need to file a confirmation statement at least once every 12 months. This normally applies whether the company is actively trading, dormant or not currently trading. If you are unsure whether your company needs to file, or when the next statement is due, it is worth checking your company record or speaking to a professional service that deals with Confirmation Statement Filing.

How often does a confirmation statement need to be filed?

UK companies generally need to file a confirmation statement at least once every 12 months, even if the company is dormant or not trading. That 12-month cycle is based on the confirmation statement review period, which is separate from your accounting period or annual accounts deadline. Companies can also file more than one confirmation statement during a review period when information changes, and certain changes may need to be reported separately rather than waiting for the statement.

What information should I check before filing?

Before filing, it is worth reviewing the details Companies House holds about your company and confirming they are correct. This typically includes your registered office address, company name, directors and company secretary details where applicable, shareholders and shareholdings, people with significant control, and your SIC code and statement of lawful purpose. If anything has changed, the relevant information usually needs to be updated so the confirmation statement reflects the correct position.

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

In most cases, yes. Being dormant or not trading does not normally remove the requirement to file a confirmation statement, because the filing confirms the information on the public register is accurate rather than reporting trading activity or profit. A dormant company may have fewer changes to report, but the confirmation statement still needs to be filed within the relevant period. If your company's circumstances are unusual, it is sensible to confirm the position for your specific situation.

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

No — these are separate requirements. A confirmation statement is filed with Companies House and confirms that the company information held there is accurate and up to date. Annual accounts are the company's statutory financial statements, also filed with Companies House. A Corporation Tax Return (CT600) is submitted to HMRC to report the company's taxable profits. Filing a confirmation statement does not satisfy your accounts or tax obligations, and vice versa.

What happens if a confirmation statement is not filed?

If a confirmation statement is not filed, the company can fall into default with Companies House. Persistent failure to file may lead to further action, which can ultimately include the company being struck off the register. Because the consequences depend on the company's circumstances and how long the filing has been outstanding, it is best to deal with an overdue or upcoming confirmation statement promptly rather than leaving it to one side.

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

A professional service typically reviews the information Companies House currently holds about your company, highlights anything that needs confirming or updating, prepares the confirmation statement and submits the CS01 filing on your behalf. If changes are needed — for example to your registered office, directors or people with significant control — these can often be handled alongside the filing. To get started, simply get in touch with your company details and the team can confirm what is required for your next Confirmation Statement Filing.
