Details

As a supervisor of the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017, which came into effect on 26 June 2017, HMRC has a duty to publish details of businesses that do not comply with the regulations.

The published address is the one that the business or individual registered with HMRC for anti-money laundering supervision.

Please be aware that:

  • the published person may have changed their behaviour
  • the published person may no longer be based at the published address
  • the business currently at the published address may have no connection with the published business
  • the business currently at the published address may have the same name as the published business but could be under new, and completely different, management

The monetary value of a penalty issued under the 2017 regulations may be part of a larger penalty that incorporates breaches of the 2007 regulations as well.

HMRC will also publish the total number and value of penalties issued under the 2007 regulations for the period.

Please note that this information refers to civil breaches of the regulations and not to criminal offences.

You can read guidance about penalties and appeals.

Suspensions and cancellations of registration

From May 2022, you need to access a separate page on GOV.UK for businesses registered for anti-money laundering with HMRC whose registrations have been suspended or cancelled by HMRC .

They will no longer be published on this page.
