Revenue Commissioners updates the Beneficial Ownership FAQs
March 2022As discussed in our February newsletter, beneficial ownership is proving to be a complicated topic. Many regulations have been issued, the most recent ones being in 2021 for the beneficial ownership of trusts. The Revenue Commissioners hold the Central Register of Beneficial Ownership of Trusts.
