answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/09/2017 answer text <p>The UK has implemented a series of reforms since 2015 aimed at increasing the transparency of UK incorporated legal persons and arrangements, and preventing their misuse for illicit purposes. These reforms include, but are not limited to, the introduction of the publicly accessible People with Significant Control Register; the abolition of bearer shares; the introduction of a register of trusts with tax generating consequences; the introduction of Unexplained Wealth Orders; and the introduction of the HMRC register of Trust or Company Service Providers. It is too early to measure the impact of many of these reforms, but we expect these measures to make a significant difference to the prevention of the misuse of companies and trusts, and assist law enforcement in their investigations where misuse does occur.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 13/09/2017 13:38:01 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
