Happy Christmas everyone.

A friend of mine is registered with HMRC for money laundering and they called her recently as part of their checking process.  They asked her if she had taken money from clients to set up ltd companies and she said yes as she had set up one for one of her clients.  She was told that she needed to be registered to do that and will now receive a fine.  I haven't heard about this before has anyone else?  I thought that as you can do your own on the companies website that pretty much anyone could do it?  Are there rules about doing it for clients?

Thanks

Never heard of this before

I would be going back to HMRC asking them for the authority as to the basis of the fine.

If is the case then expect there will be lots of people due fines soon.

Thanks for the link.

If you follow the flowchart then provided you are registered with HMRC under MLRs then you dont need to register with the link you sent.

Personally I am employed by my limited company so i meet the first condition of not needing to register.

Regards

Mark
