Norway has launched a register of beneficial owners of companies, but it will not be publicly accessible for now. Businesses that do not disclose the details of their ultimate owners will be fined starting next year.
The UK Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (Companies House) has implemented the GOV.UK One Login access technology for certain services of its digital platform. The Trade Register has become the last of the forty UK government services to use this electronic tool, Public Technology reports, citing Peter Kyle, Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology.
