Register of Overseas Entities (Protection and Trusts) (Amendment) Regulations 2025Contribution
Clearly, the second part of the statutory instrument, whereby groups of people can ensure that they maintain their anonymity, is an important quid pro quo to how this works, but also a potential source of abuse. How will Companies House and others seek to maintain a handle on what is happening under that second part of the statutory instrument or even understand whether abuse is going on? Because everything is obscured, it will be very difficult to know how real it is, and the powers of investigation into an application for anonymity will be crucial.
