Companies and Other Business Entities (Re-Registration) (Amendment) Regulations, 2026 (No. 1)
The deadline in the Companies and Other Business Entities (Re-Registration) Regulations moves from 20 April 2026 to 20 April 2028, giving entities that have not yet re-registered another two years.
The date 20 April 2026 is deleted from the Companies and Other Business Entities (Re-Registration) Regulations, 2025 and replaced with 20 April 2028 — a straight two-year extension.
The amendment is a single line and does not restate what the date governs. Read against the parent regulations, it is the re-registration deadline for companies and other business entities under the Companies and Other Business Entities Act, but the instrument itself does not say so, and it does not say whether any penalty or consequence attaching to the old date is also deferred.
Entities that have already re-registered are unaffected. Those that have not now have until 20 April 2028.
No commencement date is stated for the amendment itself.
