We\u2019re aiming to introduce the first set of changes brought in by the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act on 4 March. The introduction of these changes needs secondary legislation so this date is still dependent on parliamentary timetables. It will not be earlier than 4 March.<\/p>\n
\nThe Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act<\/strong>
\nThe Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act gives Companies House the power to play a more significant role in disrupting economic crime and supporting economic growth. The act received royal assent on 26 October 2023.<\/p>\nWhat will change<\/strong>
\nThe first set of changes introduced by the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act includes:<\/p>\n\n- greater powers to query information and request supporting evidence<\/li>\n
- stronger checks on company names<\/li>\n
- new rules for registered office addresses<\/li>\n
- a requirement for all companies to supply a registered email address<\/li>\n
- a requirement for all companies to confirm they\u2019re forming the company for a lawful purpose when they incorporate, and to confirm its intended future activities will be lawful on their confirmation statement<\/li>\n
- the ability to annotate the register when information appears confusing or misleading<\/li>\n
- taking steps to clean up the register, using data matching to identify and remove inaccurate information<\/li>\n
- sharing data with other government departments and law enforcement agencies
\nOther measures under the act, such as identity verification, will be introduced later.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Companies House is aiming to introduce the first set of measures under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act on 4 March 2024.
