What is a confirmation statement?
A confirmation statement is a Companies House filing that confirms the information held about a company is accurate, or reports changes to that information. Every registered company must file one at least once a year, including a dormant or non-trading company.
The statement is not the same as annual accounts. Accounts report a company's financial information; a confirmation statement checks the company's registered details, people and control information. Use the current GOV.UK confirmation-statement guidance for the full filing rules.
When is a confirmation statement due?
The review period generally runs for 12 months from incorporation or from the date of the last confirmation statement. You can file during the review period, and the statement can be filed up to 14 days after that period ends. The exact next due date is specific to the company, so check its Companies House record rather than relying on a generic calendar date.
Before filing, check the registered office, directors, people with significant control, share information and any other details the official service asks you to confirm. If something has changed, the relevant update may need to be reported as part of or before the statement.
What happens if it is late?
A late confirmation statement can lead to a financial penalty and Companies House may begin strike-off action. The consequence depends on the company's circumstances and the action taken by Companies House; a late filing should not be treated as harmless. See the official confirmation-statement overview if your company is approaching its deadline.
