The purpose of the RCBE database is to organise and keep up to date the information on the natural person or persons who, even indirectly or through a third party, hold ownership or effective control of the entities listed in Article 3, with a view to strengthening transparency in commercial relations and to compliance with the duties relating to preventing and combating money laundering and terrorist financing laid down in Law No. 83/2017 of 18 August.
A base de dados do RCBE tem por finalidade organizar e manter atualizada a informação relativa à pessoa ou às pessoas singulares que detêm, ainda que de forma indireta ou através de terceiro, a propriedade ou o controlo efetivo das entidades constantes do artigo 3.º, com vista ao reforço da transparência nas relações comerciais e ao cumprimento dos deveres em matéria de prevenção e combate ao branqueamento de capitais e ao financiamento do terrorismo estabelecidos na Lei n.º 83/2017, de 18 de agosto.
The 'even indirectly or through a third party' wording, the reference to Article 3 and the twin purposes (transparency; AML/CFT duties under Law No. 83/2017) are retained.
We file initial RCBE declarations, updates and annual confirmations for Portuguese companies with foreign owners, and map the ownership chain so the beneficial owner is identified correctly. Fixed fee, done in English.
