The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 makes comprehensive reforms to the law governing limited partnerships. This includes providing greater powers for Companies House to challenge, reject, share and remove suspicious information.

Alongside these reforms, Companies House will make full use of data science at their new intelligence hub to identify patterns and crack down on those seeking to evade the requirements.
