Can I Report Director or PSC Changes on the CS01?
No. Changes to officers, persons with significant control (PSC), the registered office or the SAIL address cannot be made on the CS01. They must be filed separately on the appropriate forms, either before or at the same time as the confirmation statement. This keeps the public record accurate and avoids the statement being rejected. We can check your records and file any separate changes for you.
What is a Confirmation Statement and Why Must it be Filed?
A confirmation statement is the annual filing in which a company confirms that the information held by Companies House is up to date. It is an opportunity to review details such as officers, shareholders, share capital and business activities. Filing it on time keeps your company in good standing and helps you avoid fines or strike-off. We can review your details and prepare the statement for submission.
When is the Confirmation Statement Due?
It must be delivered within 14 days of the confirmation date, and it must be filed at least every 12 months. Filing early starts a new 12-month period, so it is worth keeping track of the dates. We can monitor your deadlines and remind you in good time.
How much Does it Cost to File a Confirmation Statement?
The fee is £50 online or £110 on paper for the first statement in each 12-month period. Filing online is therefore cheaper and usually quicker. We can handle the online filing for you and make sure the correct fee is paid.
What Happens if I File My Confirmation Statement Late or Miss It?
Late or missed filing can lead to a fine of up to £5,000 and possible strike-off of the company. Because the consequences can be serious, it is best to file on time and to act quickly if you are already late. We can help you file as soon as possible and bring your company back into compliance.
What are the Additional Information Parts of the CS01?
The CS01 has six additional information parts, which are included only where information has changed. They cover a change of SIC code (Part 1), statement of capital (Part 2), trading status of shares and PSC exemption (Part 3), shareholder information (Part 4), the registered email address (Part 5) and director identity verification (Part 6). We can work out which parts apply to your company and complete them correctly.
What do I Need to Confirm About Directors’ Identity Verification?
Identity verification details are needed for each current director who has not already been verified. This is part of the CS01, so it is important to have the right information ready before you file. If a director has not yet been verified, it is worth arranging it early so that it does not delay your statement. We can help you check where each director stands.
