Confirmation Statement Filing Made Simple

A confirmation statement (previously known as an annual return) is a legal requirement for all UK limited companies. It keeps Companies House updated with accurate details about your business. At SBX Accountants, we handle this on your behalf - saving you time, avoiding penalties, and keeping you fully compliant.

What Is a Confirmation Statement?

The confirmation statement is a snapshot of your company information. It confirms that key company details are up to date, such as:

Registered office address
Directors and People with Significant Control (PSC)
Shareholder information
SIC code (your business activity)
Statement of capital

When Do You Need to File It?

You must file a confirmation statement at least once every 12 months, even if nothing has changed. The due date is usually the anniversary of your company formation or your last confirmation statement filing.

What Happens If You Miss the Deadline?

Failure to file your confirmation statement can result in:

Fines of up to £5,000
Possible company strike-off from the Companies House register
Damage to your professional credibility
