The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency (ECCT) Act 2023 has received Royal Assent, introducing a number of wide-ranging reforms for UK companies. The Act looks to tackle economic crime, bolster accountability, improve transparency and instil a culture of trust among UK corporates.
The provisions include a number of developments regarding Companies House which empower them to enhance the accuracy and reliability of data. While the implementation of most of the measures will take time, the initial wave of changes came into effect on 4 March 2024.
We have summarised a number of the key and/or immediate changes in our guide, including setting out the impending increases to Companies House fees, most of which are fairly significant, which will come into effect from 1 May 2024.
