What changed

The Companies (Filing of Documents) (Amendment) Regulations 2026 modify regulations 7A and 7B of the Companies (Filing of Documents) Regulations by removing the reference to section 12(2)(a) of the Companies Act 1967, retaining only section 12(2)(b) as the applicable provision. This is a technical amendment that narrows the scope of the filing obligations under these regulations.

Companies and corporate service providers should review their document filing procedures and compliance checklists to account for the removal of section 12(2)(a) from the applicable cross-references. While the change is minor in scope, affected parties should ensure their internal systems reflect the updated regulatory references before the 6 May 2026 effective date.

What to do next

Update internal compliance procedures to reflect the narrowed filing scope under regulations 7A and 7B
Review current document filing practices to ensure alignment with the amended cross-references
