class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A Confirmation Statement is filed annually. This notifies Companies House that the records they have for the company are up-to-date. When you <a href=\"https:\/\/businassist.com\/blog\/when-do-i-need-to-register-my-business-with-hmrc\/\">register a company with Companies House<\/a>, whether it\u2019s a <a href=\"https:\/\/businassist.com\/blog\/difference-between-partnership-and-limited-company\/\">private limited company or a limited liability partnership (LLP)<\/a>, the company\u2019s information will be made available to the public.<\/p>\n<p>Within the 12 months, to ensure the company\u2019s records are accurate and up-to-date, the company must <a href=\"https:\/\/businassist.com\/confirmation-statement-filing-service.php\">file Confirmation Statements<\/a> that contain details such as <a href=\"https:\/\/businassist.com\/blog\/registered-office-address-service-london-uk\/\">UK registered office address<\/a>, company name, officers&#8217; details, <a href=\"https:\/\/businassist.com\/tools\/sic-code-lookup-uk.php\">SIC codes<\/a>, shareholders and capital share.<\/p>\n<p>The date to file the Confirmation Statement may vary from one company to another. If you <a href=\"https:\/\/businassist.com\/uk-ltd-company-formation.php\">incorporated a UK company<\/a> on February 6th, 2025, you will be expected to file the Confirmation Statement by February 6th, 2026. The deadline to file will be 14 days after the review period, which is February 20th, 2026.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Annual_Accounts\"><\/span><b>Annual Accounts<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>These are financial statements that must be filed annually. These must be filed annually, whether the company is trading or not. By filing Annual Accounts, you notify Companies House of the profits and losses over the financial year.<\/p>\n<p>The first Annual Accounts must be filed 9 months after the company\u2019s year ends. With the example above, the financial year is February 6th, 2026, the accounts must be filed with Companies House no later than 30th November.<\/p>\n<p>The first accounting period due date is 21 months after your company is registered. With the same example, the company\u2019s incorporation date is February 6th, 2025, so the first accounting period for filing Annual Accounts will be November 6th, 2026.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Company_tax_returns\"><\/span><b>Company tax returns<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Company tax returns, which include Corporate Tax, Value Added Tax (VAT), Pay-as-you-earn (PAYE), and many more, are filed with HMRC. Like statutory records, company tax returns must be filed annually, apart from VAT, which is filed every quarter of the year.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_Companies_Houses_late_filing_penalties\"><\/span><b>What are Companies House&#8217;s late filing penalties?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The penalties get heftier depending on the period taken to file the statutory records and in extreme cases.

This may lead to penalties being reduced as long as you have proof to support your claim.<\/p>\n<p><b>Request payment arrangement plan:\u00a0<\/b>If you cannot make all payments at once, request HMRC for a payment arrangement plan.
