1 Executive summary

1.1 Overview

1.1.1 This Consultation Paper sets out the fees the JFSC proposes to charge for Registry related services from 1 January 2021 including the introduction of new fees and consults on new fee structures and fee rates to apply from 1 January 2022. We are undertaking the consultation in conjunction with the launch of our new digital registry and in the context of the enactment of the Financial Services (Disclosure and Provision of Information) (Jersey) Law 202- (the new Law).

1.2 What is proposed and why?

1.2.1 This Consultation Paper seeks views on a number of fee changes and on the introduction of certain new fees. The consultation is additional to the usual three year cycle of fee reviews focused on adjusting fees for cost inflation and is a consequence of the new Law coming into force, of new requirements and our work examining how to make our funding resilient for the forthcoming period. Over the course of 2020, we have invested heavily in the Registry infrastructure, enabling us to become digital, focusing on being more efficient, user-friendly and meeting international standards and expectations. This investment together with a robust fee structure will ensure we are financially resilient for the future. The JFSC’s published business plan for 2020 highlighted our future resilience as one of its key themes.

1.2.2 The new fees are an annual confirmation fee and for existing services for which currently we do not charge. The annual confirmation statement is a requirement for all entities under the new Law. The annual return and fee for companies will be removed, along with the annual administration fee for other entities. Although some fee increases are proposed there is also a fee decrease which will predominately benefit companies not administered by regulated service providers (also referenced throughout this document as ordinarily administered companies [1]).

1.2.3 There are further proposed new fees for reserving a name and for a name change for foundations and partnerships.

1.2.4 The intention is to continually align fees with the modern registry environment with the prime intention of facilitating appropriate access to accurate information whilst also factoring the increasing cost of cyber-security, AML/CFT elements, and wider registry development including the registry programme which will deliver a digital registry. We will ensure that our fee levels are sufficiently prudent to provide us with the cash to conduct a continuous program of capital investment and development while still giving a high level of assurance for registry users about the future levels of fees.

1.2.5 Registries are increasingly important as a wide array of businesses and individuals rely on data held on those registers, for example to make decisions about counterparties that they may wish to transact with. Government agencies also rely on the data to inform policy decision-making and to allow regulators, such as the wider JFSC, to undertake regulatory activities. The on-going accuracy of the data is vital both for vetting and supervision. Our verification processes breed confidence in the registers among the business, community and international fora. Recent Government policy identifying future interconnectivity with European financial intelligence agencies and foreign competent authorities is a case in point.

1.2.6 The JFSC is showing its commitment to developing and maintaining first-class registers with the introduction of the new digital registry at the end of the year. We also have advanced plans for further improvements in the first half of 2021. It is clear that well managed registries have a requirement for a continuous program of improvement and development to meet developing expectations and needs. The launch of the digital registry provides a timely opportunity for the JFSC to review both the quantum and nature of the registry fees, to ensure the our constantly evolving business registers are funded sustainably. It is our projection that if the proposed fee changes are adopted, and the current environment remains unchanged, that any further increases in the near future will only be driven by inflation and there will be no need for any substantial overhaul of fees for some time. Achieving this sustainable approach to funding meets a request we repeatedly get from registry users to try to reduce the uncertainty that surrounds future fee levels.

1.2.7 Given the global environment and the focus on registries as key infrastructure for international financial centres, as well as the growing need for increased digital capability, the JFSC believes these current proposed changes are necessary and sufficient based upon known facts and circumstances.

1.3 Who will be affected?

1.3.1 The proposed fee changes set out in this Consultation Paper would affect many regulated businesses and some members of the general public.

1.3.2 Regulated businesses and the general public, which will include local residents, are asked to consider the initiatives as a whole. We believe that what is proposed is fair and proportionate.

1.3.3 In considering this Consultation Paper, readers are specifically advised of the following proposals:

1.3.3.1 A requirement to pay an annual confirmation fees in 2021 amounting to £225 for the regulated sector and £220 for ordinarily administered companies. Although this is a new fee, the annual return and related fee will be removed from 1 January 2021, the proposed fee will be substantially the same amount as the annual return fee for 2020.

1.3.3.2 The proposed fee for ordinarily administered companies represents a reduction by £5 compared with the 2020 annual return fee. The JFSC is prepared to bear the cost of this reduction in fee for ordinarily administered companies as part of an overall package which includes the envisaged fee increases from 1 January 2021. The elements of the proposal are inextricably linked to each other.

1.3.3.3 From 1 January 2022, it is proposed that the annual confirmation fee for the regulated sector will increase to £270, an increase of £45. For ordinarily administered companies this fee increase will not apply.

1.3.3.4 A new fee of £10 for reserving a name. The length of time for which the name will be reserved will be increased from 6 months to two years to allow the name to be held for the time it may take to develop an idea, to obtain the necessary consents and licences to start a business in the island.

1.3.3.5 A new fee of £110 for changing the name of a foundation, a partnership, or a limited liability company. Currently only companies pay a fee to change name. The new fee will bring all entities in line. The fee will be the same as the fee for companies.

1.3.3.6 A 10% increase across all Registry transaction fees with the exception of the five day incorporation service, used for ordinarily administered companies, and which will not change.

1.3.3.7 Paper-based fees will no longer apply and will be removed from the fee schedules.

1.3.3.8 There will be no change to the Security Interests Register fees until the next fee review.

2 Consultation

2.1 Basis for consultation

2.1.1 The JFSC is issuing this Consultation Paper in accordance with Article 8(3) of the Commission Law, under which the JFSC “may, in connection with the carrying out of its functions, consult and seek the advice of such persons or bodies whether inside or outside Jersey as it considers appropriate”.

2.1.2 In addition, Article 15(3) of the Commission Law, requires that before the JFSC may introduce and publish any fee, the JFSC “must first publish a report that must include:

(a) details of the duty or power for or in respect of which the fee is to be determined

(b) details of the proposed fee

(ba) details of the extent (if any) to which any penalties received have reduced the level of fee that would otherwise have been proposed [2]

(d) a date, that is at least 28 days after the publication of the report, before which those comments may be made to the Commission.”

2.1.3 The JFSC considers that this Consultation Paper constitutes such a report as required by the Commission Law.

2.2 Responding to the consultation

2.2.1 The JFSC invites comments in writing from interested parties on the content of this Consultation Paper and its likely impact on persons accessing information held at, or providing information to, the Registry. Where comments are made by an industry body or association, that body or association should also provide a summary of the type of individuals and/or institutions that it represents.

2.2.2 Comments should be received by either Jersey Finance Limited or the JFSC no later than 30 November 2020.

2.3 Next steps

2.3.1 Following this consultation, the JFSC will publish feedback and the final Fees Notice. If agreed, the fees will be effective from 1 January 2021 or as and when such fees arise thereafter.

3 The JFSC

3.1 Overview

3.1.1 The JFSC is a statutory body corporate established under the Commission Law. It is responsible for the supervision and development of financial services provided in or from within Jersey.

3.1.2 In addition, the JFSC has appointed Julian Lamb as the Registrar pursuant to Article 196 of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991.

3.2 The JFSC’s functions

3.2.1 The Commission Law prescribes that the JFSC shall be responsible for:

3.2.1.1 The supervision and development of financial services provided in or from within Jersey

3.2.1.2 Providing the States, any Minister or any other public body with reports, advice, assistance and information in relation to any matter connected with financial services

3.2.1.3 Preparing and submitting to the Minister recommendations for the introduction, amendment or replacement of legislation appertaining to financial services, companies and other forms of business structure

3.2.1.4 Such functions in relation to financial services or such incidental or ancillary matters:

3.2.1.4.1As are required or authorised by or under any enactment, or

3.2.1.4.2As the States may, by Regulations, transfer

3.2.1.5 Such other functions as are conferred on the JFSC by any other Law or enactment.

3.3 Guiding principles

3.3.1 The JFSC’s guiding principles require it to have particular regard to:

3.3.1.1 The reduction of risk to the public of financial loss due to dishonesty, incompetence or malpractice by, or the financial unsoundness of, persons carrying on the business of financial services in or from within Jersey.

3.3.1.2 The protection and enhancement of the reputation and integrity of Jersey in commercial and financial matters.

3.3.1.3 The best economic interests of Jersey.

3.3.1.4 The need to counter financial crime in both Jersey and elsewhere.

4 The Registry

4.1 Overview

4.1.1 The JFSC operates the Registry, which registers Jersey companies, all forms of registrable partnerships, foundations and business names. The Registry aims to maintain a service that is able to supply its users with a customer-centric approach enabling users to have access to accurate and reliable information. In addition, the Registry operates the Security Interests Register (SIR) and the trademarks register.

4.1.2 The Registry not only acts as Jersey’s second line of defence with regard to AML/CFT requirements (the first line of defence is that of the TCBs) but also a first line of defence where local residents incorporate without the use of a TCB. As part of this defence mechanism, the Registry administers, vets and evaluates:

4.1.2.1 The activities of each incorporation against the JFSC’s SBPP.

4.1.2.2 The ownership and control of the new entity so as to update the central register of beneficial ownership and control.

4.1.2.3 Where relevant, the issuance of consent for the circulation of a Jersey company prospectus.

4.1.3 The Registry is medium sized compared to the global registry community. Irrespective of its size the Registry also deals with global continuance, cross-border mergers and international transparency requirements. To ensure registry best practice and interoperability, the Registry is also an active member of a small number of international registry fora.

4.1.4 The Registry is seen as a centre of excellence for the Island’s registries. Accordingly, and where possible, the JFSC has agreed to provide shared services to Government at Government’s request to efficiently utilise services provided by the Registry.

5 Background to the proposed Registry fees

5.1 Background

5.1.1 In 2019 we carried out a review of the administrative requirements within the Registry Laws. As a result of this review and the Government consultation on beneficial ownership of Jersey companies and a register of directors published on 10 March 2016 [3], it was clear that change would be needed in our approach to how the registry operates. These included changes to the administrative mechanisms; reviewing the usefulness of the annual return; and an improved central register of beneficial ownership with a new register of controllers and directors.

5.1.2 In 2020, the anticipated changes have been brought to fruition. Registry has liaised closely with Government on new legislation which will allow us to maintain a register to include information about an entity’s ‘significant persons’ and facilitate more accurate collection of data. This will assist the Island to comply with the requirements of Recommendation 24 of the Financial Action Task Force. Registry has worked to ensure this is done in a measured manner, so that we are both complying with international standards and maintaining adequate protection for the individual’s data. The new Law was adopted by the States assembly on 14 July 2020. It is due to come into force on 1 December 2020. Subordinate legislation is in the final stages and is due to be enacted at around the same time.

5.1.3 Throughout 2020, at the same time as maintaining its usual functions and services throughout challenging times, Registry has committed substantial resources to developing the digital registry (myRegistry) which will be launched in parallel with the new Law. The new system will make it easier for all users to share, access and update their information.

5.1.4 The information required under the new Law can all be provided online in a consolidated form which reduces submissions and makes it easier to interact with the Registry. For the first time, users will be able to view both public and private data (provided they are the nominated person) we hold on them.

5.1.5 At a meeting of the Registry User Group [4] on 15 October 2020 the current and future Registry requirements were explained and discussed. The importance of the Registry being financially resilient was also presented. There was broad support of the fee regime outlined in this paper with strong representation (from local representative bodies) that the annual confirmation fee be split to reflect the resource required to administer such structures. Industry bodies provided feedback on a number of options and the JFSC has concluded that a fee increase from 2022 for the annual confirmation while increasing transaction costs during 2021 is the most appropriate option and has wider support. It was suggested to the JFSC that some assurances around the drivers of future fee levels would be helpful and, in this regard, the JFSC is happy to confirm that if its projections of likely capital investment and best practice operational requirements for registries prove correct, then the driver for the next triennial fee review should just be inflationary impacts on registry costs. The JFSC was also asked to ensure in future that there was transparency around the two elements which go to make up the fees and has agreed to do so.

5.1.6 This increase will allow us to build up cash over the next few years to ensure resilience. This will mean that in an uncertain climate, we can provide some reassurance that there will not be a sudden upturn in fees for businesses. The JFSC will share information on the contributions to likely capital costs being accumulated by this funding approach and will also share its emerging thinking on the continued correctness of its projections of the adequacy of that forward funding arrangement.

6 Registry fees

6.1 Fees

6.1.1 Fees will continue to be based on the concept of “the user pays” balanced with international expectations that certain data should be free to search and retrieve. Automation will make the interaction with the Registry simpler and more convenient, but increasing cyber security requirements are becoming costly.

6.1.2 There is a fundamental change in what is required of registries in jurisdictions with strong global reputations. We are required to manage data to ensure greater accuracy and integrity, both for vetting and supervision, which involves increased costs. The Registry users will benefit from these improvements. Fees are set to take into account these changes.

6.2 Fee notices

6.2.1 An outline of the significant proposals for fee changes is given in section 6.3 below. All fee changes are detailed in the draft notices at the appendices attached to this consultation. The draft fee notices indicate services in development, due to be available in 2021 and services provided by the Registry where no fee is charged.

6.2.2 Fee increases relating to the Securities Interest Register and COBO related fees will be considered at a future date.

6.3 Fee changes

Annual confirmation fee

6.3.1 The proposed annual confirmation fee is a new fee, but at the same time we are removing the annual return and annual administration fees so there is no additional cost to entities in 2021. For ease of reference, we are comparing the confirmation fees to the annual return fee which previously applied.

6.3.2 We are proposing that there will be a 15% increase to £270 in these fees from 1 January 2022 for the regulated sector. We want to be transparent about this fee proposal to allow industry time to prepare for the increase. It should be noted that most companies were still submitting paper annual returns during 2020 and were paying an annual return fee of £235. We have discussed with the Registry User Group the option of a lower increase which would apply from 1 January, 2021, but this option did not find favour given various administrative issue and the lower level of resilience attaching to such a lower, sooner change in fee levels.

6.3.3 The proposed increase in fees in 2022 will not apply to ordinarily administered companies and we propose to reduce the fees by £5 to £220 for this group effective from 1 January 2021 and continuous until the next triennial fee review.

6.3.4 We believe it is fair and proportionate to differentiate in this way because the regulated sector typically require more administration by the Registry. The proportion of resources used in processes for the regulated sector is significantly greater than for ordinarily administered companies and they have access to enhanced functionality. This trend is likely to continue.

6.3.5 Limited partnerships (LPs) are not subject to the new Law. The annual fee of £225 for LPs will remain the same in 2021 and no increase is proposed until 2022. The fee for all partnerships and foundations will be £270 from the 1 January 2022.

6.3.6 What has been conventionally referred to as ‘the annual confirmation fee’ is actually a combination of a fee imposed by the JFSC and a separate levy to support the work of Government. The breakdown is shown in the table below:

Annual confirmation fee for ordinarily administered companies	2021	2022
Fee payable to JFSC	£75	£75
Total inclusive of levy payable to Government	£220	£220
Annual confirmation fee for the regulated sector	2021	2022
Fee payable to JFSC	£80	£125
Total inclusive of levy payable to Government	£225	£270

Late filing fees

6.3.7 Penalties for late filing are not part of the annual fee and are set as additional fees to encourage filing in a timely manner thereby ensuring transparency and facilitating accountability. It is considered that these penalties again need to be updated and a 10% increase is proposed for these fees.

Reservation of name fee

6.3.8 We currently do not charge for the reservation of an entity name. From 1 January 2021 we propose to introduce a £10 fee. The length of time for which the name will be reserved will be increased from six months to two years to allow the name to be held for the time it may take to develop an idea, obtain the necessary consents and licences to start a business in the Island. We believe the level of the fee is proportionate.

Change of name fee

6.3.9 Companies must pay a fee for a change of name. Currently, other entities do not pay for this service. We do not consider it to be justified that companies pay for a service which is provided to other entities for free. Therefore we propose to introduce a fee for foundations, limited liability companies and partnerships for this service. The fee will be the same as for companies £110.

Registration/transaction fees

6.3.10 The 10% increase is proposed for all transactional fees except the 5-day company incorporation.

Registry value-added services and Discrete Charges

6.3.11 The aim of the Registry is to continue to provide new value-added services.

6.3.12 There is currently no intention to charge for the use of API channels.

6.3.13 In addition there are currently no plans to charge for the filing of beneficial ownership and controller or significant person data.

6.3.14 The Registry has become more flexible when providing services, charging for more bespoke and “out of hours” services. Any such service will be set out in guidance to ensure clarity and consistency.

6.4 Competitiveness

6.4.1 The JFSC understands the need to remain competitive and therefore a table of the standard annual fees for companies has been included below. Table 1 highlights that Jersey fees compare well with similar jurisdictions.

Jurisdiction	Annual Company Registration Fee (GBP) October 2020
Cayman	Depending on share capital between £646 and £2,370
BVI	Standard company authorised to issue up to 50,000 shares £346 >50,000 shares £923
Guernsey	Non regulated company £250 Financial product company £500 Regulated entities £500
Isle of Man	Standard company £380
Jersey	£225 (£235 for paper filing) with proposal to increase to £270 in 2022
