The Government has announced that most of the provisions of the 2006 Companies Act which were due to be implemented on 1 October 2008 are to be delayed until 1 October 2009.
The reason given for the delay is to allow the necessary amendments to the Government’s systems and procedures to be made.
The parts of the Act scheduled for implementation on 6 April 2008 are unaffected.
The revised implementation timetable can be seen here.
