Routine — in scope firms only.

HM Treasury published the Economic Crime Levy Report 2024-25 on 16 July 2026, covering the collection and spending of Economic Crime (Anti-Money Laundering) Levy funding for the financial year 2024-25. Publication fulfils the government's stated commitment to report transparently on the levy's operation.

The Economic Crime (Anti-Money Laundering) Levy is a charge on AML-supervised firms above a certain revenue threshold, with the levy amount determined by the band into which the firm's UK revenue falls. The annual report is the mechanism by which HM Treasury accounts for what was collected and where it went.

The headline collection totals, the breakdown of spend by recipient body, and any year-on-year comparison with 2023-24 are all contained in the 23-page PDF rather than the landing page; those figures sit in the PDF, which was not reviewed before publication. If you need the collection and spend detail now, the PDF is linked above.

For levy-paying firms, there is nothing here that changes your obligations or your band. This is a transparency report, not a policy change. If you want the collection and spend detail, it is in the linked PDF.
