Register for the Economic Crime Levy
Use this service to register for the Economic Crime Levy (ECL) if you are an organisation or entity:
- regulated by HMRC for anti-money laundering (AML) supervision
- regulated by one of the Professional Body Supervisors (PBS) for AML supervision
Check if you need to pay the levy (opens in a new tab).
If you are part of a business group, you must register for each entity in your group that meets the requirements.
You will be able to submit a return and pay the levy after you have registered. You must pay the levy by 30 September 2024. You will be charged interest if you make a late payment.
Before you start
You will need to tell us:
- about any accounting periods for your organisation ending in the relevant financial year
- about your organisation's UK revenue in any relevant accounting periods
- if your organisation carried out AML-regulated activity at any point during the financial year
- details we can use to confirm the identity of your business, see list of details needed (opens in a new tab)
- the business sector your organisation operates in
- the details of someone in your organisation who can act as a point of contact for any activities related to the ECL
Do not use this service if:
- the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) or the Gambling Commission (GC) supervises your AML activities
- you are an agent acting on behalf of a client - you cannot currently register for the ECL for them
- you do not meet the UK revenue requirements for registering
