Dear Valued Client,
KEY CHANGES
With effect from 30 December 2022, the Beneficial Ownership (Amendment) Act, 2022 (originally enacted on 28 August 2020) (the “Act”), was amended and now requires further information in addition to information previously provided by Beneficial Owner(s) (the “BO”).
All Beneficial Owners are required to provide their National Identification Number (NIN) or equivalent and a Tax Identification Number (TIN) or equivalent in a prescribed Beneficial Owner Declaration Form (the “BO Declaration Form”) by 29 December 2023.
Should there be any changes of a Beneficial Owner’s (BO) details previously provided, the BO is obligated to notify the Company or Registered Agent within 21 days.
You may access the full text of the Acts here:-
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
Please complete and return the BO Declaration Form for all existing Beneficial Owners of your Seychelles Company to us by 30 November 2023.
As the update to the Seychelles authority entails an upload of the information to the regulators designated portal, we will charge a one-time handling fee of USD100.00 for each entity up to a maximum of two (2) BOs. An additional fee of USD80.00 per BO will apply for third BO onwards.
We thank you for your prompt action on this matter.
If the defaulted details in the BO Declaration form are incorrect, please contact us.
PENALTY
Failure to maintain an accurate and up to date information under the BO Regulations will attract a penalty not exceeding SCR150,000 for each contravention.
If your Company has yet to provide any of the requested information, you are strongly advised to contact your relationship manager without delay to avoid any penalties.
Thank you.
