BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP
e-Notice for Company with Share Capital
WHY DO WE NEED TO DO THIS?
As stipulated under Section 56 of the Companies Act 2016, Companies are now required to notify SSM on the beneficial owners (“BO”) of the Companies and to keep the said information accurate and up-to-date. In this regard, all companies under the Companies Act 2016 are required to confirm BO for your Company.
What is a bo?
“Beneficial Owner” (BO) means the ultimate owner of the shares and does not include a nominee of any description. However, if the company has no shares, the ultimate effective control refers to a natural person(s) having significant influence or dominant control over a company regardless of its position in the company.
The Directors of the Company are ultimately responsible for ensuring that beneficial ownership information is accurate and up-to-date.
Nonetheless, proper documentation of the basis upon which the beneficial ownership information is identified and verified should be kept.
If the shareholder is a company (corporate shareholder), we need the details of every beneficial owner in the company.
