As of 1st May 2024, Companies House is implementing revised fees, marking a significant change in the cost structure for various services.
This adjustment stems from the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency (ECCT) Act, introducing measures that inevitably increase operational costs for Companies House.
Understanding the Impact
The fee revisions encompass a range of services, each carrying its own implications for businesses.
Notably, the fee for an annual confirmation statement, when submitted digitally, will surge to £34, compared to the current £13.
This increase represents a substantial adjustment and demands careful consideration from businesses, especially those accustomed to the previous fee structure.
Strategic Considerations
Given the impending changes, businesses are urged to assess their filing schedules and plan accordingly.
For entities with imminent confirmation statement submissions, it may prove advantageous to file early and benefit from the existing lower fee one last time.
For a comprehensive breakdown of the prices set to take effect from 1st May 2024, businesses can refer to the official source provided by Companies House: Changes to Companies House Fees.
