Money Laundering Regulations (MLR)

We have announced the registration timetable for Payroll Agents to register with us under the MLR.

Are you a payroll agent?

Under the Money Laundering Regulations 2007, if you provide payroll services for other businesses you will need to register with us as an Accountancy Service Provider if your business is not supervised by a designated professional body - such as the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales or the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers. You can find a full list of professional bodies at appendix 2 of our Guide to Registration (PDF 266K).

To apply to register your business with us, there is an administrative deadline of 1 July for the receipt of applications. This is to give us sufficient time to process applications and issue certificates before the register opens on 1 October 2008.
