Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) (Threshold Amount) (Amendment) Order 2025Contribution
Although the £1,000 threshold has likely contributed to a reduction in DAMLs, evidence shows that the UK Financial Intelligence Unit continues to receive a large number of low-value items, only a small proportion of which lead to asset denial opportunities. For example, between January and December 2024, approximately 23,000 DAMLs relating to transactions between £1,000 and £3,000 were submitted. Of these, only 182 were refused, equating to 0.1% of all assets denied because of the DAMLs in that year.
