In late April, the Ministry for Law and Human Rights issued new regulations relating to limited liability companies (the Regulations).* The Regulations revoke the previous regulations on the topic.**

The Regulations require all applications for the creation, change and dissolution of a limited liability company to be submitted, with all accompanying documents, through the Legal Entity Administration System, administered by the Ministry for Law and Human Rights.

The Regulations introduce a number of administrative changes to increase the ease and efficiency of creating, changing and dissolving a limited liability company with many procedures to be carried out online. The Regulations have simplified the creation of a limited liability company by allowing its creation via a notary. Furthermore, the Regulations have abolished the 60 day time limit for establishing a limited liability company from the date of the deed of establishment.

The Regulations came into force on 30 April 2021.
