How much does it cost to file a confirmation statement? | Companies House filing fees increase.
Companies House announced that its fees would change from 1 May 2024, marking the first increase since April 2016. These changes are based on a ‘cost recovery’ model, meaning the new fees reflect the actual cost of delivering each service. Importantly, Companies House has confirmed that it does not make a profit from the fees it charges. Understanding these updates to the confirmation statement filing fees 2024 is essential for all UK businesses to stay compliant and budget accordingly.
As the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency (ECCT) Act progressed through Parliament, concerns were raised over whether the existing fee structure was adequate. The revised fees are intended to ensure sustainable funding for Companies House, helping to cover operational costs and support the implementation of new powers granted under the ECCT Act.
