HMRC Money Laundering Regulations – Deadline 1^st April

This AMPS website posting is to alert members to HMRC Money Laundering Regulations. The deadline for registration is 1^st April 2008. New money laundering regulations came into force on the 15^th December that will require certain entities to register with HMRC by the 1^st April 2008 and have appropriate anti-money laundering controls. If relevant, firms will need to apply for a fit and proper test and pay the relevant fees for registration and the fit and proper test. Please note that AMPS are unable to give any advice as to whether your business needs to register or not, as much may depend on your corporate structure and the nature of the activities it undertakes. We recommend that each firm takes appropriate advice based on its own circumstances. However, we provide the following observations which may be helpful in your considerations.
