The annual confirmation statement is a statutory filing requirement that was introduced on 30 June 2016. It replaced the annual return but serves exactly the same purpose in a simplified format.
All limited companies and limited liability partnerships (LLPs) registered in the United Kingdom must deliver a confirmation statement to Companies House (the registrar) at least once every 12 months, even if the business is dormant.
Purpose of the confirmation statement
The purpose of the confirmation statement (Companies House form CS01) is to verify that important company data recorded at Companies House is accurate at a certain date.
If any information held on record is incorrect or out of date when the confirmation statement is due, the company should update the data before, or at the same time as, delivering the confirmation statement.
The confirmation statement is more straightforward than the annual return, because you do not have to enter previously filed information if there have been no changes in the past 12 months.
If your company details are exactly the same and you don’t have any changes to report, all you need to do is ‘check and confirm’ the information held at Companies House and submit the statement.
What to include in a confirmation statement
To complete a confirmation statement, you simply have to check the information registered at Companies House and confirm that it is correct and up to date at that time. The data you will have to check and confirm (where relevant) includes the following:
• Registered office address
• Single Alternative Inspection Location (SAIL address)
• Current company officers (i.e., directors, company secretary, LLP members)
• Location of the company’s statutory registers (i.e., at the registered office, at a SAIL address, or held at Companies House)
• Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes (i.e., the company’s principal business activities)
• Name of each shareholder
• Shares held by each shareholder (class, quantity, and details of any transfers)
• Statement of capital
o total number of issued shares of the company
o the aggregate nominal value of those shares
o aggregate amount (if any) unpaid on those shares (whether on account of their nominal value or by way of premium)
o prescribed particulars of rights attached to each class of share
o total number of shares of each class
o aggregate nominal value of each class of share
• Trading status of shares
• People with Significant Control (PSCs)
• Exemption from keeping a PSC register
Can I report changes using the confirmation statement?
You can report certain changes to your company data on the confirmation statement, just like you could with the annual return. The information you can update includes:
• SIC codes
• Shareholder details
• Statement of capital
• Trading status of shares
• Exemption from keeping a PSC register
All other information, such as amendments to officers’ details, PSCs, and the registered office, must be reported separately using the relevant Companies House forms. You can file these forms and update the required information prior to, or at the same time as, filing your confirmation statement.
Confirmation statement filing deadline
You have to file a confirmation statement at least once a year, no later than 14 days after the end of your 12-month ‘review period’. Your review period starts on:
• the date of company formation, or
• the ‘statement date’ of the previous confirmation statement
Your review period ends the day before:
• the anniversary of company formation, or
• the statement date of the previous confirmation statement
The statement date is the date on which you must confirm that the company information recorded at Companies House is correct.
Example
You form a company on 1 February 2024
Your 12-month review period starts on 1 February 2024 and ends on 31 January 2025
The statement date for your confirmation statement is 31 January 2025
The filing deadline is 14 days later, on 14 February 2025
Who is responsible for filing a confirmation statement?
Directors have a legal responsibility to ensure that all statutory documents, including confirmation statements, are filed with Companies House by the necessary deadlines, even if these administrative tasks are delegated to a company secretary. In an LLP, designated members are responsible for filing confirmation statements.
Failure to deliver a confirmation statement is a criminal offence and can have serious consequences for a company and its officers. The registrar may take steps to strike off the company or LLP and disqualify or prosecute the directors or designated LLP members.
What if I don’t have any changes to report?
If you don’t have any changes to report, you still have to file a confirmation statement to tell Companies House that your company details are correct. This is the primary purpose of the confirmation statement.
How do I file a confirmation statement?
Confirmation statements can be delivered to Companies House in one of three ways:
Difference between annual confirmation statement and annual accounts
Both of these filing requirements are due once per year. That’s where the similarity ends.
• Annual confirmation statements are used to confirm key details about the internal structure of a limited company or LLP on a certain date. They must be filed at Companies House at least once every 12 months
• Annual accounts show the financial performance and activity of a company over the course of the previous year. A copy must be given to members, Companies House, and HMRC
Confirmation statements for dormant companies
All private limited companies (and LLPs), whether dormant or active, must deliver a confirmation statement to Companies House every 12 months.
Whilst a company may not be trading, certain details about the internal structure of the business may change. Therefore, you must confirm that the information held at Companies House is correct at a given date each year.
What happens if I forget to file a confirmation statement?
If you forget to file a confirmation statement by the deadline, you should file it as soon as possible.
Whilst there is no financial penalty for late filing, failing to deliver a statement is a criminal offence. To avoid serious consequences, you must file your confirmation statement as soon as you remember.
Failure to do so could see your company struck off the register and dissolved, because Companies House will assume that it is no longer trading. If this happens, your company will cease to exist and its assets will pass to the Crown. Company officers/LLP members may also face prosecution.
]]>Jeremy Hunt sought to turn around Conservative electoral fortunes today as he placed tax cuts for workers and parents at the heart of his Budget.
As his centrepiece, the Chancellor announced a 2percent cut to the rate of National Insurance paid by employees.
This will save the average worker an estimated £450 a year, rising to £900 when combined with a similar reduction announced last autumn.
The tax cut will be paid for through a mix of tax increases elsewhere, on business class airfares, owners of short-term holiday lets, vapes and tobacco.
However, other taxes have been frozen including fuel duty and alcohol duty, while the threshold at which parents are excluded from receiving child benefit has been raised.
New “British ISAs” are also to provide an extra £5,000 tax-free allowance for savings invested in UK firms.
Meanwhile embattled landlords received a boost with news that the higher rate of capital gains tax is to be cut from 28 percent to 24 percent on residential property.
Tax cuts:
• National Insurance cut by 2 percent
• Child benefit threshold raised from £50,000 to £60,000
• Capital gains tax on property cut
• Tax relief for savers in new ‘British Isa’
• Fuel duty frozen
• Alcohol duty frozen
• More ‘expensing’ relief for businesses
• Tax rises
• Tax perks for holiday lets scrapped
• Stamp duty raid on multiple purchases
• Non-doms stung in tax raid
• Vapes and tobacco to be hit by duties from October 2026
• Business class airfares hit with higher duty
• Oil and gas windfall tax extended
• Inflation, debt and the economy
Mr Hunt said inflation will finally drop below the 2 percent target “in just a few months’ time”, according to the latest forecast by the Office for Budget Responsibility. That is nearly a year earlier than previously forecast, he says.
When Rishi Sunak became PM, inflation stood at 11 percent and now it is 4 percent.
Meanwhile, he said the OBR now says debt as a share of GDP – which was set to exceed 100 percent; is now forecast to fall each year until it reaches 94.3 percent in 2028-29.
On the economy, the Chancellor said the OBR now predicts growth of 0.8 percent this year and 1.9 percent next year. That is 0.5 percent more than an earlier forecast.
In the following years, growth is expected to rise by 2 percent, 1.8 percent, and 1.7 percent in 2028.
“Because we have turned the corner on inflation, we will soon turn the corner on growth,” Mr Hunt told MPs.
National Insurance tax cuts
National Insurance on employee wages will be cut by 2 pence in the pound from April 6, the Chancellor announced.
An equivalent cut was also announced for the self-employed.
Mr Hunt said this will hand an extra £450 a year to the average employee or £350 to someone who is self-employed.
Added to an NI cut last autumn, it amounts to a tax cut of £900 a year.
Child benefits
Tens of thousands of families will be able to claim more child benefit from this year.
From April, the Chancellor said the level of income at which a parent starts to lose child benefit entitlements will rise from £50,000 to £60,000.
The top of the taper will also increase to £80,000, making the rate at which the benefit recedes slower. It will mean 170,000 more families will now gain the full benefit, Mr Hunt said.
Capital gains tax
The higher rate of capital gains tax on residential property is to be cut from 28 percent to 24 percent, in a boost to landlords.
Mr Hunt said the Treasury and the OBR agreed that the move would actually increase tax revenues overall, as it would encourage more property sales.
The net extra tax take from the change is expected to be £690m, according to Budget papers.
Fuel duty
Fuel duty is to be frozen for the 14th year running, giving motorists a £6bn tax break.
Treasury officials had been pushing Mr Hunt to raise fuel duty by at least 2 pence.
But the Chancellor said he will maintain a 5 pence temporary cut and freeze fuel duty for a further 12 months, saving the typical motorist £50 next year.
Fuel duty was last raised in 2011 and accounts for £26.2bn in tax revenues – around 2.7 percent of Treasury receipts.
The extended relief will result in £6.4bn of lost tax income, Budget documents say.
Alcohol duty freeze
The Chancellor has confirmed the alcohol duty freeze has been extended to February 2025, in a boost to drinkers.
It had been due to go up by 3 percent.
Mr Hunt said the move will benefit 38,000 pubs across the UK, adding: “We value our hospitality industry and we are backing the great British pub.”
The freeze will cost the Treasury an estimated £1.7bn, according to official forecasts.
Holiday lets
Tax perks for holiday let owners have been scrapped in a £600m raid on landlords.
The Chancellor claimed the current rules are “creating a distortion” that is meaning too few properties are available for local people.
From April 2025, he said relief for furnished holiday lets would end.
Air passenger duty
Mr Hunt said air passenger duty charged on non-economy airfares – or business class tickets – will be increased to account for inflation.
The rate for economy travellers will remain frozen. Overall the Treasury forecasts the change will raise £500m in the next five years.
Non-dom tax raid
The ‘non-dom’ tax regime is to be scrapped and replaced in a measure to raise £2.7bn a year, Mr Hunt said.
Non-domicile status allows foreign nationals who live in the UK but are officially domiciled overseas to avoid paying UK tax on any overseas income or capital gains for their first seven years in the country.
But from April 2025, Mr Hunt, new arrivals to the UK will not have to pay tax on foreign income and gains for the first four years of their UK residency.
After that, they will pay the same tax as other UK residents. Transition arrangements will be allowed for current non-doms.
North Sea windfall tax
The end of the windfall tax on North Sea oil and gas firms – known officially as the “Energy Profits Levy” – has been extended by one year, to 2029.
Mr Hunt said the raid will raise an extra £1.5bn for Treasury coffers.
Stamp duty relief axed
Stamp duty relief for people who purchase more than one dwelling in a single transaction, known as Multiple Dwellings Relief, has been axed.
Mr Hunt said the measure was originally meant to support investment in the private rented sector but had failed to do so and was “being regularly abused”.
The raid on landlords will raise an estimated £1.3bn.
Vape and tobacco duties
To discourage non-smokers from taking up vaping, Mr Hunt announced a new excise duty on vaping products that will come into force from October 2026.
At the same time, he said there will also be a one-off increase in tobacco duty “to maintain the financial incentive to choose vaping over smoking”.
Treasury documents show the vaping duty is expected to raise £875m up to 2029, while the change to tobacco duty will raise £450m.
‘British ISA’
Mr Hunt promised a new ‘British ISA’ which will provide another £5,000 of annual tax-free investment in UK equities.
He said this will “ensure that British savers can benefit from the growth of the most promising UK businesses” while supporting those firms to expand.
Business tax cuts
Mr Hunt noted that in his Autumn Statement he unveiled a £10bn tax cut for business that make capital investments in the UK, known as “full expensing”.
Now, following calls from business lobbying groups, he announced firms will be able to claim tax relief for leased assets as well.
In addition to business rates support, the Chancellor said a further £200m will be provided to the post-pandemic Recovery Loan Scheme which lends money to small businesses to boost growth.
Over in the creative industries, the Chancellor said he will give film studios in England 40 percent relief on their gross business rates until 2034.
He also unveiled plans for a new tax credit for independent films with budgets of less than £15m.
Nuclear and green energy
Mr Hunt has confirmed that the Government has reached a £160m deal with Japanese giant Hitachi to buy the Wylfa nuclear site on Anglesey, as well as the Oldbury site in South Gloucestershire.
Wylfa and Oldbury have both been mooted as potential site for large-scale or smaller, modular nuclear reactors in future.
He also says Great British Nuclear, the public body set up to prepare the ground for new power stations, is about to begin the next phase of a process to select which mini-nuclear power station designs will be backed by the Government.
Science, industry and devolution
Construction of nearly 8,000 homes will be supported by £242m of investment in Barking Riverside and Canary Wharf, London, the Chancellor says.
The money will also help transform Canary Wharf into “a new hub for life science companies”, with efforts underway to convert office space into laboratories.
Mr Hunt also announces a “North-East trailblazer devolution deal” worth £100m and plans to devolve more powers to Buckinghamshire, Warwickshire and Surrey.
NHS and public spending
In addition to increasing certain taxes, it was thought Mr Hunt might seek to fund his Budget measures by constraining post-election public spending even more than previously planned.
He instead announced spending in public services will rise by 1 percent in real terms over the next parliament, as planned.
But Mr Hunt added the Government will “spend it better”, as he unveiled plans to boost public sector productivity.
For example, he said, the Treasury has agreed to fund a £3.4bn upgrade of NHS computer systems “in full” to unlock £35bn of potential savings.
A further £2.5bn is being invested to meet “pressures in the coming year”.
However, he also faces pressure to ramp up spending in defence. In his speech, Mr Hunt says defence spending will rise to 2.5 percent of GDP “as soon as economic conditions allow” without making a concrete commitment.
Whatever the case, the Chancellor must meet a self-imposed rule of having debt falling as a share of gross domestic product (GDP) by 2029.
In the United Kingdom, a dormant company is one that has had no significant accounting transactions during a financial year. These companies are not actively trading and therefore do not generate any income. Despite being inactive, dormant companies are still required to file annual accounts and tax returns with Companies House. This process is known as dormant company annual filing.
Dormant company annual filing is a legal requirement for companies that are not trading but are still registered with Companies House. The purpose of this filing is to provide transparency and ensure that the company’s financial records are up to date, even if there have been no transactions during the year. Failure to submit annual accounts and tax returns for a dormant company can result in penalties and fines.
The first step in the dormant company annual filing process is to prepare the dormant company tax return. This return must be filed with HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) and includes details of the company’s income, expenses, and any tax reliefs claimed. The tax return for a dormant company is usually straightforward, as there are no trading activities to report.
Once the dormant company tax return has been submitted to HMRC, the next step is to file the dormant company accounts with Companies House. These accounts must include a balance sheet, notes to the accounts, and a director’s report. The accounts must be filed within nine months of the company’s financial year-end.
Companies House dormant accounts filing is done online through the Companies House website. The filing fee for dormant company accounts is lower than for active trading companies, but it is still important to ensure that the accounts are filed on time to avoid penalties. Companies House will publish the dormant company accounts on its website, providing transparency to stakeholders and the public.
In conclusion, dormant company annual filing is an important legal requirement for companies in the United Kingdom that are not actively trading. By submitting annual accounts and tax returns, dormant companies can ensure compliance with the law and maintain transparency with regulators and stakeholders. Companies House dormant accounts filing is a straightforward process, but it is essential to ensure that the accounts are filed on time to avoid penalties. Failure to comply with the filing requirements for dormant companies can result in fines and other consequences, so it is important to stay on top of these obligations.

]]>When we talk about dates for tax, often the date is said to be ‘during the tax year’ or ‘following the end of the tax year’. A UK tax year runs from 6 April to the following 5 April.
So, if we are talking about the tax year 2022/2023 it started on 6 April 2022 and finished on 5 April 2023. The 31 January during the tax year was 31 January 2023, the 5 October following the end of the tax year would be 5 October 2023 and the 31 January following the end of the tax year would be 31 January 2024.
The first payment on account for the tax year ending the following 5 April is due. For example, the first payment on account for the 2023/24 tax year was due by 31 January 2024.
The tax year ends on 5 April and shortly after this date anyone who is required to file a tax return will receive a notice advising that you must file a tax return for the tax year just ended. If you have stopped trading during the tax year, you will still need to complete a tax return for your last year of business. Contact us to find out what you need to do if your business has stopped trading.
The second payment on account for the tax year ending the previous 5 April is due. For example, the second payment on account for the 2023/24 tax year is due by 31 July 2024.
The 5 October is the date by which you need to notify HMRC that you have income that has not been taxed before you received it, or capital gains in excess of the annual exempt amount (£12,300 for 2022/23 and £6,000 for 2023/24). This is so that HMRC can send you a notice a file a tax return. If you are self-employed, you need to register with HMRC for tax purposes by this date.
If you are sending HMRC a paper tax return this must be submitted by 31 October. If you send the form after this date there will be a penalty even if you have no tax to pay. The deadline for filing a paper tax return for 2023/24 for the purpose of establishing when late filing penalties become due is 31 October 2024, and for other tax years the filing deadline for paper tax returns is 31 October following the tax year.
If you file your tax return online, you will need to submit it by 30 December (following the end of the tax year) if you have employment or pension income and want HMRC to collect the self-employed tax through your PAYE tax code. This may be possible where you owe less than £3,000. If your income is more than £30,000, even more tax may be collected through your PAYE tax.
All tax returns filed online must be submitted by 31 January (following the end of the tax year). If you miss this deadline a penalty will be charged even if you have no tax to pay or have already paid all of the tax you owe. See our penalties section for more information. The deadline for filing an online tax return for 2023/24 for the purpose of establishing when late filing penalties become due is 31 January 2025, and for other tax years the filing deadline for online tax returns is 31 January following the tax year. Also, your balancing payment of tax is due at this time. For example, your balancing payment for 2023/24 is due on 31 January 2025. You may also have a payment on account to make at this time. For example, you may have a payment on account to pay for the 2024/25 tax year on 31 January 2025.
If you become aware that an entry on your paper or online tax return is incorrect you can amend that return up to 12 months after 31 January following the end of the tax year. For example, if you need to amend your 2022/23 return you have until 31 January 2025 to make the amendment. This applies whether you filed manually using a paper return or completed it online.
Call us on 0118 2077207 if you require more information or click this link
Conclusion
If you are filing your tax return online for the year 2022-2023, it must be submitted to HMRC by midnight on 31st January. You’ll also need to pay any tax you owe by this date, including the first instalment of any payments on account for the 2023-2024 tax year and any balancing payments owed from 2022-2023.
Jeremy Hunts announced his financial update; here are the main points.
Personal tax
Hunt says he will cut the main 12% rate of employee national insurance contributions by two percentage points to 10%.
This tax cut will be brought in from 6 January 2024, the chancellor says.
He says this will affect 28 million people, saving someone on the average salary £450.
Growth
The chancellor says forecasts from the Office for Budget Responsibility show the economy will grow by 0.6% this year and 0.7% next.
It is now 1.8% larger than it was before the Covid-19 pandemic, according to the official figures, he says.
Inflation is expected to fall to 2.8% by the end of 2024 according to the spending watchdog, down from 11.1% last year when Hunt and Sunak took office.
GDP will then grow 1.4% in 2025, and 1.9% in 2026 and 2% in 2027 and 1.7% in 2028.
In March, the OBR had forecast the economy would shrink by 0.2% in 2023, before growing by 1.8% in 2024, 2.5 % in 2025, 2.1% in 2026 and 1.9% in 2027.
Inflation
Inflation is expected to fall to 2.8% by the end of 2024 according to the spending watchdog, down from 11.1% last year when Hunt and Rishi Sunak took office.
Wages and benefits
Hunt says he is making the biggest set of welfare reforms in a decade and will get 200,000 more people into work.
People claiming benefits will face mandatory work experience if they do not find a job within 18 months.
As pre-announced, the national living wage will increase by more than a pound an hour from April to £11.44. It will also be extended to 21-year-olds.
Benefits will be increased by 6.7%, and there will be tougher requirements for those who claim them to look for work.
The state pension will be increased by 8.5%.
Hunt says he will increase the local housing allowance, which has been frozen since 2020, in a measure worth £800 for some households next year.
Borrowing
Hunt says headline debt is to be worth 94% of GDP by the end of the forecast period, lower than forecast by the OBR in March.
In cash terms, the OBR estimates the budget deficit; the gap between spending and income is 4.5% of GDP in 2023-24.
In its previous forecasts in March, the OBR had estimated borrowing would be 5.1% of GDP or £132bn in cash terms, in 2023-24.
Business tax
Hunt will make so-called “full expensing” permanent. This allows businesses to offset investment in items such as new IT equipment and factory machinery against tax.
The chancellor adds that the total package of measures will help boost business investment by about 1% of GDP.
Hunt says he wants to reform taxes paid by self-employed people, and will abolish their “class 2” national insurance contributions, which count towards their state pension entitlements. This will cut taxes for 2 million people, he says. “Class 4” contributions will be cut by one percentage point. Together these will be worth £350 a year.
There will be a business rates discount for hospitality retail and leisure worth £4.3bn.
