**π¨ Important Update for UK Business Owners! π¨**
Companies House has just confirmed significant fee increases coming into effect from **1 February 2026**. If you run a UK limited company, here's what you need to know:
π **Key Changes:**
- **Annual Confirmation Statement**: Rising from Β£13 (18 months ago) to Β£34 (current) and soon to **Β£50**
- **Company Incorporation**: Doubling from Β£50 to **Β£100**
π· **The Bottom Line**: The cost of UK company compliance continues to climb. These increases follow previous hikes in May 2024 and represent a continued trend of rising administrative costs for businesses.
**Pro Tip**: If your confirmation statement is due in February 2026, consider filing it in late January to save Β£16!
These fee increases will fund Companies House's enhanced powers under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act, including identity verification requirements starting 18 November 2025.
Are you prepared for these changes? Now's the time to review your company compliance budget! πΌ
