Short delay
A statement is only a few days past the filing deadline and has not yet been filed.
The checker keeps the verdict in a lower risk band but still flags immediate action.
Practical compliance tool
Confirmation Statement Late Filing Checker
Check whether a confirmation statement is already late and how exposed the company is to the practical filing risk that follows.
This checker is designed for operational triage: is the statement overdue, and how urgently should the filing position be cleaned up?
Confirmation Statement Late Filing Checker
Check whether a confirmation statement is already late and how exposed the company is to the practical filing risk that follows.
What this checker is screening for
The result shows whether the confirmation statement appears to be on time, moderately late, or materially overdue based on the due date and current filing status.
It is intended to help you decide whether the next move is to file immediately, escalate internally, or build the deadline into a broader remediation plan.
Rule summary
Late confirmation statement risk at a high level
Companies House does not use the same published fixed-money penalty table for confirmation statements as it does for annual accounts, but an overdue statement still leaves the company visibly non-compliant.
The longer the statement remains outstanding, the more likely it is to create friction with later filings and broader strike-off or clean-up work.
Worked examples
How the result behaves in practice
Materially overdue filing
A statement has been left outstanding well beyond the normal deadline and other compliance tasks are drifting too.
The checker pushes the result toward a higher-risk outcome and points to recovery tools rather than passive waiting.
Turn the result into an action plan
File the statement or confirm submission status before running other remediation work.
If more than one Companies House task is overdue, open the strike-off risk or timeline tools next.
Use the compliance calendar once the statement is brought up to date so the cycle does not drift again.

Assumptions and limits
This tool is a heuristic checker and should be treated as a high-level screen rather than a formal opinion.
Assumptions
- The inputs entered are complete and reflect the facts for the relevant filing, tax, or compliance period.
- The tool is used for a standard scenario rather than a specialist exception, relief, or disputed case.
Limits and rule basis

- If the underlying rule depends on reliefs, appeals, or special handling, the real outcome may differ.
