END OF TRANSITION PERIOD

The 18 month transition period provided in the 2014 Companies Act for companies to convert to a new company type ended on 30 November. The forms introduced for use in the conversion process (N1, N2, N3) ceased to have any legal basis under the Act on 1 December and any conversion form received after 1 December cannot therefore be processed by the CRO.

Companies wishing to re-register, change their name or adopt a new constitution, can do so by using one of the following methods:

(a) re-register to a different company type by filing a Form D20, Special Resolution, new Constitution and filing fee of €60 (see CRO Information Leaflet No 35 for more information),

(b) change their name by filing a G1Q form, amended Constitution and fee of €50 if filed on line/€100 on paper, and

(c) adopt a new Constitution by filing it with a G1 form - Special Resolution which is free if filed online/€30 on paper.

Private limited by shares companies that did not convert to either a DAC or an LTD during the transition period have been automatically converted to an LTD by the legislation. A new digital Certificate of Incorporation will issue for each such company to the e-mail address(es) held on CRO’s records for that company.

Affected CLG/DAC/unlimited companies which did not change their name during the transition period will now have the change applied by the deeming legislation. A new digital Certificate of Incorporation will be issued by the CRO to the e-mail address(es) held on CRO’s records for those companies. 
 
 
MANDATORY EFILING OF CERTAIN SUBMISSIONS WILL BE INTRODUCED BY THE
CRO FROM 1ST JUNE 2017


SI 458 of 2016 - Companies Act 2014 (Section 897) Order 2016 has been signed into law by the Minister of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation. The SI comes into effect on 1st June 2017. Mandatory electronic
filing will apply to the following submissions from this date:

B1 Form - Annual Return (including financial statements and electronic payment)
B2 Form - Change of registered office
B10 Form - Change of director and/or secretary, or in their particulars
B73 Form - Nomination of a new annual return date

These changes will directly affect the company of which you are a director. As every company is obliged to file a B1 every year, it is imperative that any company, whose Annual Return Date (ARD) is after the 31st May 2017, familiarises themselves with the online process ahead of their ARD.

CRO are working on an information campaign to notify companies of the new efiling requirements.


BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REGISTER

Article 30 of the 4th EU Anti-Money Laundering Directive requires all EU Member States to put into national law provisions around beneficial ownership information for companies and legal entities.

There are two stages to this process:

1) As of 15 November 2016 Companies and legal entities must hold information on their beneficial owner in their own companies beneficial ownership register

2) Companies and legal entities will be required to file this information with the central beneficial ownership register. The central register is in the process of being established and further information on the filing requirement will be provided in due course.

On restoration of such a company, the Registrar is obliged to apply the company name requirement and the name of the company will be altered. A new certificate of incorporation will issue to affected companies via email.
