What is the Register of
Overseas Entities Regulations?

Compliance with the Register of Overseas Entities Regulations


Our team at Elena Meskhi & Co. has received a rather large sum of inquiries regarding business owners’ compliance with the somewhat new, Register of Overseas Entities (RoOE) Regulations. Here’s one more area where business owners must be careful and ensure that they are compliant with the latest guidelines.

What are the new guidelines?

The Register of Overseas Entity Regulations was first announced on 1 August 2022. The announcement indicated that any overseas entity that wanted to purchase, sell, or even transfer ownership of a property they own in the UK would need to register with the Companies House. The purpose of this registration is to inform the Companies House who is the registrable beneficial owners and managing officers. 

What are the penalties for not registering with the Companies House?

If you meet the requirements for registering and have not registered by the deadline of 31 January 2023, you will be penalised. The penalties may range from paying a fine to up to 2 years imprisonment; in some extreme cases, the imprisonment may reach up to 5 years! Thats’s because failing to register means failure to let the Companies House know who the beneficiary of the entity is (are), hence, is considered a criminal offence.
