Private company and confirmation statement filing requirements

Filing the company confirmation statement online: HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) want all companies to pay the right amount of tax, and takes reasonable steps to help companies meet their tax obligations.

For companies who are filing company accounts of less than £6.5 million turnover to Companies House, or a tax return to HMRC with turnover under £632,000, Coddan recommends using the HMRC online portal. The online service is the easiest way to submit your limited company, charity or association's tax return. Paper returns (CT600) are being phased out, and you may only complete this if you've had extenuating circumstances affecting your ability to file online.

Before you begin, ensure you have your private company's statutory accounts to hand. You'll also need to be registered for a Government Gateway user ID and password, and have a password and authentication code with Companies House.

It's vitally important that you don't leave it until the last minute to file your tax return. Keeping your accounts up to date throughout the year, and giving yourself plenty of time to complete the tax return will make the process much simpler. Your company will be liable for fines if you file late or fail to complete your tax return. Contact the experts at Coddan for help, who will guide you through the process.

The responsibilities of company directors to file a confirmation statement

File an Confirmation statement

A company director has many responsibilities, but perhaps one of the most important is the filing of the company’s confirmation statement with Companies House.

This return shouldn't be confused with the submitting of the company’s accounts. The confirmation statement provides a range of detailed information about the company’s structure, share ownership and other general company information.

The return has to be filed within 28 days of the anniversary of the incorporation of the company; and while there is no penalty for a late return, if no return is filed at all, there can be severe consequences, ranging from a hefty fine to closure of the company and prosecution. Individuals who fail to ensure their company files an confirmation statement can even be disqualified from being a company director.

To ensure that this important return is completed correctly and on time, it can be a good idea to get the help of a provider such as Coddan, one of the UK’s leading corporate services practitioners. We have assisted thousands of companies, of all sizes, across many sectors, ensuring that their transactions with Companies House are handled quickly, accurately and efficiently.
