It’s up to you. The purpose of a confirmation statement is to ensure Companies House hold accurate and up-to-date information for a company. Companies House are only notified of a company’s new shareholding situation when a confirmation statement is filed.

Whilst not compulsory, many business owners wish for Companies House to be notified as soon as they have transferred shares - this is often because of a request from the bank.
