Guidance Notes – Confirmation Statement

From June 2016 companies no longer submit an annual return. Instead companies are required to confirm (and update) similar information at any time during a 12 month period in a confirmation statement. It is a criminal offence not to do this and the company and its officers may be prosecuted for failure to file a confirmation statement within the specified time period. 

This Guidance Note is a user friendly and practical guide covering what a confirmation statement is, how and when it needs to be filed as well as the contents of the confirmation statement. It has been updated as of 4th March 2024 to take into account the changes made to the confirmation statement under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2024. More information is available on Companies House website.

This guidance note relates to confirmation statements filed on or after 5th March 2024.
