Companies House plans to increase fees for incorporation to £100 from the current £50, and confirmation statements to £50 from £34, affecting both companies and limited liability partnerships (LLPs) filing digitally while the paper fee will also shoot up. The higher fees will come into effect from 1 February 2026, although the fee for a voluntary strike-off filing is being reduced.

The latest fee rises will increase costs for all entities registered, including private limited companies, LLPs, charitable companies and overseas entities. It is part of a broader initiative to clean up the company register and stamp out fraudulent companies.
