Companies Registration Office Gazette 2013

CENTRAL REGISTER OF BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF COMPANIES AND INDUSTRIAL & PROVIDENT SOCIETIES (RBO) 

In March 2019, the Minister for Finance signed into law Statutory Instrument No 110 of 2019 to establish a Central Register of Beneficial Ownership of Companies and Industrial and Provident Societies (the RBO) - see http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/2019/si/110/made/en/pdf.  

The Registrar of Companies has been appointed as the Registrar of Beneficial Ownership of Companies and Industrial & Provident Societies with effect from 29 July 2019.

Accordingly, the RBO will open to accept filings from Monday 29 July.

Filing of beneficial ownership data can only be made on-line through a portal on the RBO website at www.rbo.gov.ie. There are no paper forms and no filing fees involved. Companies and societies will have until Friday 22 November to file their data with the RBO without being in breach of their statutory duty to file. The RBO will write to each company and Industrial & Provident Society about their filing obligations in the coming days. 
 

WHERE TO FIND INFORMATION IN RELATION TO YOUR RBO FILING OBLIGATIONS

The RBO website is now live at: www.rbo.gov.ie.

The website contains a comprehensive FAQ Section which should assist customers in fulfilling their obligations under SI 110 of 2019. Customers should consult the FAQs before contacting the RBO Unit directly. If you cannot find an answer in the FAQs, please email your query to: enquiries@rbo.gov.ie. For queries in relation to policy and legislation, please email your query to the Department of Finance at aml@finance.gov.ie.
