Companies House: Fees and Charges
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether he has had discussions with Companies House on recent increases to their fees.
Answered by Blair McDougall
The recent adjustments to the fees, which came into effect on 1 February 2026, were determined following detailed modelling of budgetary requirements by Companies House to support the delivery of priorities set by this government. There was extensive dialogue between the Department and Companies House in deciding the fee levels. These changes are intended to maintain high standards of service and ensure that Companies House and the Insolvency Service are appropriately resourced to fulfil their functions.
