(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Registrar of Companies (Fees) (Companies, Overseas Companies and Limited Liability Partnerships) Regulations 2009 (S.I. 2009/2101) ("the Main Regulations").
The Main Regulations are amended to extend the application of those Regulations to companies within section 1040 of the Companies Act 2006 (c.46) ("the Act") (i.e. a company not formed under the Companies Acts but authorised to register), and unregistered companies under section 1043 of the Act. A fee is inserted into the Main Regulations for the registration of a company not formed under the Companies Acts but authorised to register. The amount of the fee is £20.
The Main Regulations are also amended to disapply the subscription fee payable under those Regulations for Companies House Direct, Extranet and XML, which provide inspection, or provision of copies, of documents kept by the registrar, where the subscription fee is paid under regulations relating to European Economic Interest Groupings and limited partnerships.
