The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 (ECCTA) received Royal Assent on 26 October 2023, marking a major legislative milestone for both the fight against economic crime and the powers of Companies House.
This ECCTA hub is a touchpoint for our updates on the latest ECCTA news and for more detailed insights into what ECCTA might mean for your business. ECCTA has three main objectives, in summary:
preventing organised criminals and other bad actors from using corporate structures to abuse the UK’s open economy;
strengthening the UK’s response to economic crime; and
improving the services delivered by Companies House.
ECCTA is an ambitious and wide-ranging piece of legislation and is being implemented through secondary legislation and guidance.
