Central Registry Online Services Enhanced

Customers of the Isle of Man Central Registry submit company filings and make payments using card or BACS online.

These enhancements provide quicker access to services, and contribute to substantial efficiency gains for both the Registry and its customers.

The expanded platform will soon replace the current email filing option introduced during the pandemic.

It assists Corporate Service Providers in meeting a new one-month filing requirement for director changes under the Companies Act 2006, which came into effect from April 1. 

Services Enhanced

It is hoped that the new filing requirements for companies operating under the provision of the Companies Act 2006 will result in a significantly higher number of annual returns being filed electronically via the Registry’s Simple Online Annual Return Service.   

The introduction of the SOLAR service in December 2021 and its recent enhancement has enabled the Registry to redeploy two team members to a new Data Assurance Team.

In common with other companies’ registries, the Isle of Man Central Registry is evolving to become an active gatekeeper of company data on registers, rather than a passive recipient.

Central Registry

The Data Assurance Team will be responsible for this approach and will continue to be developed over the next year.

Recent legislative changes have provided the Central Registry with greater powers to challenge corporate information presented to it.

It is also establishing closer links with regulators and law enforcement agencies to drive compliance and improve data quality.
