 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.

Confirmation Statement Requirements

Every UK limited company and LLP must confirm the information on the public register each year, even where nothing has changed and the company is not trading.

Filing Deadline

If your company pays even one director a salary, you must operate PAYE and file RTI submissions with HMRC.

People & Shares

Every company must file a confirmation statement at least once in each 12-month review period, within 14 days of the review period ending.

What's Included in Our Confirmation Statement Filing Service?

Our fixed-fee confirmation statement filing service covers everything needed to keep your Companies House record accurate, from routine annual statements to overdue catch-up filings.

CS01 Preparation

We prepare your confirmation statement from your current Companies House record and check every detail before filing.

Companies House Filing

Electronic submission of your confirmation statement, with filing confirmation sent straight to you.

Officer & PSC Updates

Director, secretary and people with significant control changes reported alongside your statement.

Shares & SIC Codes

Share capital, shareholder lists and SIC code corrections handled as part of the service.

Overdue Confirmation Statement Support

Catch-up filing where a review period has already passed, including multiple missed statements.

Most UK companies registered at Companies House, including those based in Westhoughton, need to file a confirmation statement — and being dormant, quiet or not trading does not normally remove that requirement. It is a separate filing from your annual accounts and from your Corporation Tax Return, so it needs to be dealt with on its own.

Active limited companies that are trading normally
Dormant companies that are not currently trading or receiving income
Non-trading companies that are simply not generating business activity
Companies limited by guarantee, such as clubs, associations and community organisations
Limited liability partnerships and similar entities registered at Companies House
Directors, company secretaries or agents who are responsible for keeping the register up to date

What Is a Confirmation Statement and What Does It Confirm?

A confirmation statement is a statutory filing that confirms the information Companies House holds about your company is accurate and up to date. It is often referred to by its form name, CS01, and it is a completely separate submission from your annual accounts and your Corporation Tax Return.

The registered office address and any change of address details
Director, secretary and their service address information
Shareholder details, share capital and the statement of capital
People with significant control (PSC) information and any relevant changes
Standard industrial classification (SIC) codes describing what the company does
Confirmation that the company's intended future activities are lawful
A reminder that certain changes — such as appointing a director or moving the registered office — often need to be reported to Companies House separately rather than waiting for the confirmation statement

─── FAQs

Your Questions, Answered

Common questions about our confirmation statement filing service, deadlines and what Companies House requires.

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 about your company is correct and up to date. It is usually submitted on form CS01 and covers things such as the registered office, directors, shareholders, share capital and people with significant control. It is not a financial filing — it does not include accounts, turnover figures or tax calculations. Its purpose is simply to keep the public register accurate, which matters because lenders, customers, suppliers and other parties rely on that register when they check your company.

Who needs to file a confirmation statement?

Most companies registered at Companies House need to file one, including active trading companies, dormant companies, non-trading companies, companies limited by guarantee and limited liability partnerships. The requirement is generally tied to the company being registered rather than to whether it is currently doing business. A newly formed company usually has to file its first confirmation statement around twelve months after incorporation, and the date shown on your company record is the best guide to your own position.

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 period is often called a review period. Companies can also file more than one confirmation statement during a review period when information changes and they want the public register brought up to date sooner rather than later. It is worth noting that the confirmation statement deadline is separate from your accounting period and from your annual accounts deadline, so it should not be confused with either.

What information is checked when filing a confirmation statement?

The confirmation statement is a chance to review what Companies House already holds. Typical items include the registered office address, director and secretary details, the company's SIC codes, shareholder information, the statement of capital, and people with significant control. If everything is correct, the statement simply confirms that. If something has changed, you may need to update the register — and certain changes, such as a new director, a resignation, a change of registered office or a change in PSC details, often need to be reported separately rather than only through the confirmation statement.

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

Yes — being dormant or not trading does not normally remove the requirement to file a confirmation statement. Dormancy affects other areas, such as what you include in your accounts or whether you need to tell HMRC that the company is dormant, but it does not switch off the Companies House confirmation statement obligation. Many Westhoughton companies that have paused trading are still required to confirm their information each review period, and a dormant company can file one just as an active company would.

Is a confirmation statement the same as annual accounts?

No, they are two separate filings with different purposes. Annual accounts are financial statements that report the company's financial position and performance for an accounting period, and they follow the accounting reference date. A confirmation statement does not contain any financial figures at all — it confirms that the company information held by Companies House is accurate. Because they are separate, filing one does not satisfy the requirement for the other, and each has its own due date to work to.

How is a confirmation statement different from a Corporation Tax Return?

A confirmation statement goes to Companies House and confirms company information. A Corporation Tax Return, often called a CT600, goes to HMRC and reports the company's taxable profits and calculates the Corporation Tax due. They are filed with different bodies, cover different subject matter and are not interchangeable. VAT Returns, if a company is VAT registered, are also separate again. Keeping these filings distinct in your own records helps avoid the common mistake of assuming that submitting one has taken care of another.

What happens if a confirmation statement is not filed, and how can a professional service help?

If a confirmation statement is not filed when it is due, the company is not meeting its filing obligation, and Companies House can take follow-up action. Leaving it unresolved can also lead to an out-of-date public record, which may raise questions when others check your company. A professional confirmation statement service helps by tracking your review period, reviewing your Companies House information, preparing the CS01 filing, flagging anything that needs to be updated separately, and keeping you informed so nothing is left to chance. To get started with Confirmation Statement Filing in Westhoughton, simply get in touch with your company details and we can take it from there.
