statement online
Let Your Company Formations file your confirmation statement to Companies House.
Confirmation statement – summary
In 2016, the confirmation statement replaced the annual return. Companies House require all company directors to fill in their company’s confirmation statements on time and in full. Although there are no fines for filing late, failing to file on time is a criminal offence and directors may be fined personally for non-compliance. Companies House may also attempt to strike your company off its register for failure to comply.
Your confirmation statement must contain the following information:
- registered office address
- shareholders
- your line of business (as expressed in Standard Industry Classification (SIC) codes)
- the amount of share capital issued
- who owns the shares
- officers within your business who are considered a Person of Significant Control (PSC)
All limited companies are required to declare who the PSCs in your business. A PSC is someone who owns more than 25% or more of the shares or the voting rights within your business. A PSC can also appoint or remove the majority of the directors on the board. Alternatively, a PSC simply may exercise “significant influence or control”, according to HMRC.
Your Company Formations helps hundreds of companies every year to meet their obligation to file correct confirmation statements (including PSC information) on time and correctly. We offer a standard service which files on or by the due date or an enhanced service which files within 24 hours of receipt of the information we need.

A confirmation statement is a legal document that all UK limited companies must submit to Companies House every 12 months. It confirms the key details of your company as of the end of your review period. It must include your registered office address, shareholders, SIC codes, share capital issued, who owns the shares, and any Persons of Significant Control (PSCs).
Yes. In 2016, the confirmation statement replaced the annual return. It serves the same purpose but uses an updated format and is filed using the CS01 form.
Yes, all limited companies must file a confirmation statement annually. This legal obligation applies even if your company has experienced no changes during the review period. Dormant companies are not exempt; they must also file a confirmation statement every 12 months. Submit your statement within 14 days of your company's review period ending. There are no exceptions to this requirement.
The company directors are legally responsible. Companies House requires all directors to file on time and in full. Failure to do so is a criminal offence, and directors may be personally fined for non-compliance. Companies House may also strike the company off the register.
What is the purpose of the confirmation statement? The confirmation statement exists to keep the public register at Companies House accurate and up to date. It confirms who controls the company, who the shareholders are, what the company does, and how its share capital is structured. It is a transparency requirement, not just an administrative one.
