On August 21 was issued the Ministerial Order 233/2018, which regulates the Legal Regime on the Beneficial Ownership Central Register (BOCR Legal Regime). However, these regulations are still not complete, since the forms for compliance of the disclosure requirements under the BOCR Legal Regime must still be published on the website of the Justice sector. Also, it requires that such forms will include the circumstances indicating of the status of beneficial owner that must be taken into account when filling out the form.

The first beneficial owner declaration for the companies already in existence on 1 October 2018 must be made between 1 January 2019 and 30 April 30 2019.

The obligations under this legal regime must be fulfilled by filing the said form. However, only after the publication of the form on the website of the Justice sector we will have a view of the information to be filed.
