New Rules on the Transparency Register in Germany

The introduction of the transparency register has already been reported on in the client letter. The legislator has passed a number of amendments which came into force on 1 August 2021. According to these, all companies are now required to be registered. For German and European public limited companies, the registration deadline is 31 March 2022, for limited liability companies, partnerships and cooperatives it is 30 June 2022, and for the remaining companies it is 31 December 2022. Associations are now already registered ex officio.

You should therefore check whether your company has already been registered. We are at your disposal for practical advice.
