Changes to creditor bankruptcy and compulsory liquidation petition deposit: The Insolvency Proceedings (Fees) (Amendment) Order 2022

On 1 November 2022 the deposit for a creditor’s bankruptcy petition will increase from £990 to £1,500, and the deposit for a company winding-up petition will increase from £1,600 to £2,600.

There will be no change to the adjudicator petition deposit where an individual applies for their own bankruptcy.
