Legislation has required companies house to replace the Annual Return with the confirmation statement by 30th June (see e.g. [https://www.1stformations.co.uk/blog/annual-return-to-be-replaced-annual-confirmation-statement/](https://www.1stformations.co.uk/blog/annual-return-to-be-replaced-annual-confirmation-statement/)). Does this imply any changes for the API? Specifically, the basic API ([https://developer.companieshouse.gov.uk/api/docs/company/company\_number/companyProfile-resource.html](https://developer.companieshouse.gov.uk/api/docs/company/company_number/companyProfile-resource.html)) has a specific reference to Annual Returns. Are the statements just filling in that information?

Apologies for the delay in providing this information. The change is documented at : [Company Profile Change](http://forum.aws.chdev.org/t/company-profile-change/628)

Thanks
