In 2016, Companies House introduced the confirmation statement, a method to report your company information and to ensure all your details are up to date with Companies House.
It is compulsory for every company to file a confirmation statement. By doing so, you are updating Companies House with information which is relevant and up to date. A confirmation statement needs to be filled once a year.
Not filing your confirmation statement
You can commit a criminal offence by not filing your confirmation statement within the deadline period. Moreover, the company and also personals in charge may be prosecuted, which can lead to the company being struck off.
Remember – keep a note or set a reminder of the date it needs to be filled.
