Companies House fee increase – What it means for you and our services

You may have seen from our recent eshots and newswire articles that significant changes are being introduced at Companies House.

The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency (ECCT) Act has introduced new measures that have significantly increased the operating costs for Companies House.

Following a surge in bogus companies being formed to access resources, such as Bounce Back Loans, new measures have been introduced, which require greater scrutiny of Directors seeking to register companies.

There are also significant changes to the annual submission of standing data to Companies House via the confirmation statement.

Companies House has issued a new pricing structure to pass on the burden of these security measures.

For a comprehensive breakdown of the prices set to take effect from 1 May 2024, businesses can refer to the official source provided by Companies House: Changes to Companies House Fees.

We in turn have had to look at the pricing of our services which incorporate Companies House charges, and so, from 1 May 2024, some of our services will also have an increased charge.

The main changes to note are as follows:

The preparation and filing of confirmation statements will become £95 plus VAT
Forming a company will now cost £350 plus VAT

If you have any queries or concerns regarding these increases, please contact Rebecca Bradshaw by emailing Rebecca@rtaccountants.co.uk
