DESCRIPTION

The Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (DTIC) published the Companies Amendment Bill, 2021 (Bill) for public comment on 1 October 2021. The Bill was originally published for public consultation in August 2018 and subsequently redrafted with revised amendments. The revised amendments provide more clarity in a number of clauses of the Bill, which seeks to reduce regulatory regime on businesses; tighten anti-money laundering gaps; strengthen the disclosure requirements and enhance the shareholder powers in a company

The Bill is the second draft of the Companies Amendment Bill which was published in September 2018 (2018 Draft) which, if passed, will represent the first set of substantive amendments to the Companies Act 71 of 2008 (Act) since it came into effect on 1 May 2011.

Comments must be submitted to companiesamendmentact@thedtic.gov.za by no later than Sunday, 31 October 2021.
