Confirmation statement late filing

Learn what an overdue confirmation statement means in practice and why it should be treated as a live Companies House compliance issue.

When lateness becomes a wider problem

Confirmation statement lateness does not use the same published fixed-money table as annual accounts, but it still creates a visible filing failure.

That is why an overdue statement should be treated as a compliance signal rather than an administrative nuisance.

Rule summary

Late confirmation statement risk at a high level

Companies House says a confirmation statement can be filed up to 14 days after the review period ends. Enter that actual due date; this checker does not calculate it.

Companies House says failure to file may lead to a financial penalty or strike-off. The checker does not predict either outcome or calculate a penalty.

Worked examples

How the rule behaves in practice

Short delay: A statement is only a few days past the filing deadline and has not yet been filed. The checker flags action now; its lower triage band is not an official grace period.
Materially overdue filing: A statement has been left outstanding well beyond the normal deadline and other compliance tasks are drifting too. The checker places the outstanding filing in a higher internal triage band, without claiming an official escalation threshold.

Practical consequences

The longer the statement remains outstanding, the harder it becomes to treat the company as neatly up to date on its Companies House obligations.
Where other filing duties are drifting too, the missed statement can become part of a broader remediation story.

Important limits

The 30/90-day triage bands are Obnexo heuristics, not statutory thresholds or official Companies House categories.
If already filed, this tool cannot determine whether the filing was historically late without its filing date.
