An update on the Companies (Amendment) Bill 2020
Introduction
The Companies (Amendment) Bill 2020 (Bill) has
passed through Tynwald and has been sent for Royal Assent. If
granted, the resulting Act would become operational on such day(s)
as the Treasury appoints. When operational the Act will make two
changes.
Conversion
First, the Act will allow companies incorporated under the
Companies Act 2006 (CA06) to re-register as
incorporated under the Companies Acts 1931 (CA31).
This change may become operational by end July 2021.
The process will be essentially the same as re-registration of a
CA31 company under CA06, except that additional requirements will
apply in relation to a CA06 company that will be re-registered as a
CA31 PLC.
