Details
You must notify the Companies Office of the change in Beneficial Ownership. Beneficial Ownership is whether the shares are owned by the shareholder (so the benefits of the shares go to the shareholder) or are held by the shareholder on behalf of a trust or another party (so the benefits of the shares do not go to the shareholder but are passed on to another party).
Beneficially Held? | Who gets the benefits of the shares (e.g. dividends)? |
---|---|
Yes | Shareholder |
No |
Not the Shareholder - the other party on behalf of which the shares are being held, e.g. trust |
If a change to the beneficial owner status takes place, the changes must be recorded on your own share register and included in your next company annual return.
