Anybody notice that the statutory fee to file the annual confirmation statement has gone from £34 to £50 effective1 February 2026.

So the fee has gone from £13 back in April 2024 to £34 from May 24 and now £50.

How do they justify such a price hike when nearly all the documents are filed electronically where previously they had to all be scanned in and logged onto the Companies House register.

    They need the money to pay for a new system and architecture to pay for the cost of the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act. However that urgent need to make micro and small companies file their profit and loss account obviously isn’t so urgent as its planned April 2027 implementation date is pushed back to who knows when - at least on a rolling twenty-one month notice.


    The term ‘five year olds’ springs to mind. Apologies to them.
