A Confirmation Statement is a legal document that every UK limited company and LLP must submit to Companies House once a year. It is submitted to confirm that your company’s main information like directors, shareholders, registered office address, SIC codes, and who controls the company is accurate and up to date.
You don't report tax or profits through filing the confirmation statement but it is filed to confirm your latest company structure and key details.
A confirmation statement includes:
- Company directors and company secretary
- Registered office address
- Shareholders and share capital
- SIC codes that describe your business activity
- People with Significant Control
If any of the above information has changed during your review period, make sure to update it before or when you file. The Confirmation Statement becomes part of the public record, so errors with shareholdings or details about who controls the company can lead to compliance issues and might attract further scrutiny from regulators.
Who Needs to File a Confirmation Statement?
Every UK limited company, LLP, dormant companies and brand new ones must file confirmation statement with Companies House at least once every 12 months. Even if nothing has changed all year, you still have to file, just to confirm everything is up to date. If you don’t, you could face penalties or even have your company struck off.
This applies to everyone:
- Active trading companies
- Dormant companies
- Newly incorporated companies
- Small, medium and large businesses
If your company is new, your first Confirmation Statement is due within 12 months of incorporation. After that, you need to file every 12 months, and you have 14 days after your review period to submit it.
