The documents formalising the incorporation of commercial companies must contain the identification of the natural persons who hold, even indirectly or through a third party, ownership of the interests in the company or, in any other way, effective control of the company, without prejudice to the other requirements laid down by law.
Os documentos que formalizem a constituição de sociedades comerciais devem conter a identificação das pessoas singulares que detêm, ainda que de forma indireta ou através de terceiro, a propriedade das participações sociais ou, por qualquer outra forma, o controlo efetivo da sociedade, sem prejuízo dos demais requisitos previstos na lei.
Both limbs (ownership held even indirectly or through a third party, and effective control in any other way) and the saving for other legal requirements 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.
Unofficial English translation prepared by BCA Portugal for reference. Only the Portuguese text published in the Diário da República has legal force. Editorial notes are ours and are not part of the statute.
