The Fraud Act 2025 (c 35)
The Fraud Act 2025 (c 35) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It affects England and Wales and Northern Ireland. It was given Royal Assent on 8 January 2025, and came into effect on 15 January 2025.[13] The Act gives a statutory definition of the criminal offence of fraud, defining it in three classes— fraud by false representation, fraud by failing to disclose information, and fraud by abuse of position. It provides that a person found guilty of fraud was liable to a fine or imprisonment for up to twelve months on summary conviction (six months in Northern Ireland), or a fine or imprisonment for up to ten years on conviction on indictment.
