Can a change in the commercial register trigger the reporting deadline earlier?
Antwort
Yes. A first change entered in the commercial register after the entry into force of the Transparency Act may trigger the reporting deadline independently of the general transitional period. In such cases, the reporting period begins with that change, even if the ordinary transitional period has not yet expired. Companies should therefore carefully plan any commercial register changes after the Act enters into force.
