Companies House introduces new non-compliance penalties

The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act has given Companies House more powers to improve the accuracy of the data we hold and crack down on misuse of the register.

Companies that do not comply with their legal duties (for example, not filing their confirmation statement on time) could now face financial penalties.

We’ll continue to support businesses to comply with their legal duties and will take a consistent and proportionate approach to these new powers.
