The Jersey Financial Services Commission (JFSC) is offering extra assistance to Jersey-registered companies to ensure they fulfil their requirements for submitting Beneficial Ownership and Control information to meet the UK government’s deadline.
Jersey-registered companies have until 30 June to submit a Statement of Beneficial Owners and Controllers – also referred to as a C17S form.
This is to satisfy the agreement signed between the island and the UK in 2016 to enable, on request and in appropriate circumstances, the sharing of sensitive information to trusted international law enforcement and tax authorities.
With three weeks remaining until the deadline, the JFSC’s Companies Registry has so far received 5,438 C17S submissions from local residents (65 per cent), leaving an estimated 2,985 outstanding (35 per cent).*
The Companies Registry is holding out-of-hours drop-in sessions from 17:00 to 19:00 on Tuesdays (13, 20, 27 June) and Thursdays (15, 22, 29 June). There will also be sessions on Saturday 17 and 24 June between 09:30 and 12:30.
The JFSC will continue to run sessions in normal business hours – book by emailing registry@jerseyfsc.org or call (01534) 822030.
