A new confirmation statement is due to replace the annual return from June 2016.
Companies will be required to provide information to the registrar at least once a year. This can be delivered as a confirmation statement.
Unlike annual returns, there are no set dates to submit a confirmation statement during the year. However, no more than 12 months can be passed from the original statement when submitted.
Companies will need to ‘check and confirm’ their information and inform Companies House if any changes would like to be made.
The differences between the confirmation statement and the annual return include:
All companies and limited liability partnerships (LLPS) must now keep a register of persons with significant control (PSC).
Companies are required to record the information of individuals with significant control on a PSC register and filed with Companies House from 30 June 2016.
