Guidance Notes – Confirmation Statement

Since June 2016, companies no longer submit an annual return. Instead, companies must confirm (and update) similar information by filing a confirmation statement at any time during a 12-month period.

It is a criminal offence not to do this, and the company and its officers may be prosecuted for failing to file a confirmation statement within the specified time period.
