FCA Proposes 2026/27 Fee Changes. What Does It Mean for UK Companies?

The FCA is avoiding a significant fee hike for the upcoming period, keeping the overall increase minimal. Nevertheless, the trend shows a steady climb in regulatory expenses.

The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has released its consultation paper CP26/11, outlining proposed regulatory fees and levies for the 2026/27 financial year. The changes are not yet final, with firms given until 30 April 2026 to respond. Final rules are expected in July 2026.
