When is a confirmation statement due?
GOV.UK, Filing your company's confirmation statement:
“You must review your records and file at least one confirmation statement every 12 months.”
“The review period ends 12 months after either: the date your company incorporated, if you're filing your first confirmation statement; the ‘confirmation statement date’ on your last confirmation statement.”
“You can file your statement up to 14 days after the review period has ended.”
When are annual accounts due?
GOV.UK, Prepare and file annual accounts for a private limited company, gives these deadlines:
| Filing | Deadline (GOV.UK wording) |
|---|---|
| First accounts with Companies House | “21 months after the date you registered with Companies House” |
| Annual accounts with Companies House | “9 months after your company’s financial year ends” |
| Company Tax Return with HMRC | “12 months after your accounting period for Corporation Tax ends” |
This checker shows the two Companies House dates. The tax return goes to HMRC and is not on the public register.
Example: working out the dates
Example — a private limited company that has not changed its accounting reference date or filed early.
| Example | Date | Rule used |
|---|---|---|
| Company incorporated | 15 October 2025 | — |
| First confirmation statement review period ends | 15 October 2026 | 12 months after incorporation |
| First confirmation statement: file by | 29 October 2026 | up to 14 days after the review period ends |
| First accounts due at Companies House | 15 July 2027 | 21 months after incorporation |
Example — later accounts for a company whose financial year ends on 31 March 2026: due by 31 December 2026 (9 months after the financial year ends).
Want the dates for your own company? The key dates calculator works them out from the incorporation date.
