Confirmation Statements

A Confirmation Statement, which replaced the Annual Return in 2016, is a snapshot of the general information about a company, its directors, secretary, registered office address and share capital, and must be filed with Companies House annually confirming that the information held for the company is up to date.

Confirmation Statements are made at least once a year. More often than not, they are due on the anniversary of the date the company was incorporated, or else a year after the date the last Confirmation Statement was filed, and you also have an extra 14 days from this date in which to file.

It’s worth mentioning that Confirmation Statements must still be made even if there haven’t been any changes since the last time, and even if the company is dormant.

Our accountants start preparing confirmation statements, just as soon as the anniversary of the incorporation date has passed. This allows plenty of time to review the draft statement, so it is never filed late. Late filing can lead to the company being struck off and can affect its credit rating.

It’s important to note that missing your filing date can lead to the prosecution of directors and dissolution of your company.

Our accountants will prepare and file your confirmation statement with Companies House, so please get in touch.
