Beneficial Ownership Transparency - The New Challenges

Introduction

Beneficial ownership has become a significant focus in the global fight against corruption, money laundering and tax evasion.

The Financial Action Task Force (‘FATF’) and OECD play pivotal roles in setting international standards for beneficial ownership transparency.

Ownership registers are essential tools in ensuring this transparency and accountability in corporate structures and this new virtual classroom seminar will refer to UK's recent legislative measures.

Understanding beneficial ownership’s implications on taxation is crucial for both businesses and regulators.

The session will equip you with the knowledge and skills to navigate this complex and evolving field, promoting transparency, integrity, and compliance with global regulations.
