Changes
The Companies Registry at the Jersey Financial Services Commission (JFSC) is making changes to the way the Companies Registry collects information concerning beneficial ownership and control (BO). From 1 January 2017 onwards, we will require companies and partnerships registered at the JFSC to complete a C17S form detailing current beneficial ownership and control by 30 June 2017. Effectively, you have six months to comply with this new requirement. On submission of a C17S form and thereafter, all companies and partnerships registered at the JFSC must notify the Companies Registry of any changes to BO within 21 days of change.
Important: Even if there is no change to BO information since incorporation, you must still complete a C17S (or equivalent form depending on the entity applying) before 30 June 2017. This will allow the Companies Registry at the JFSC to update information relating to BOs of each company and partnership on the register. You can do this at any time from 1 January 2017 as long as this is filed by 30 June 2017.
