Could a Transparency Levy Be the Solution to Corporate Secrecy? The idea is simple yet powerful: implementing a 10% levy on financial transactions with companies that do not disclose their directors, shareholders, beneficial owners, and accounts. This could represent a crucial advance in the fight against corporate secrecy. Explore our CEO and Co-Founder Claus Christensen's insights on this thought-provoking article below. #moneylaundering #KYC #UBO #KYB

Could a Transparency Levy Finally End Corporate Secrecy? I recently came across an interesting article by Dan Neidle in the Financial Times discussing a proposed UK "transparency levy" that could help accelerate the adoption of public beneficial ownership registers globally. https://lnkd.in/dzXaFBzf Here are my thoughts: The idea is essentially to force corporate ownership transparency through the introduction of a 10% levy on financial transactions with companies that do not publish their directors, shareholders, beneficial owners, and accounts. It's a simple yet powerful concept, aimed at promoting transparency and deterring companies from hiding behind corporate secrecy. But can it work? The experience with FATCA isn't quite comparable, as it was driven by the world's largest economy—the US. The US, however, is unlikely to push for this kind of transparency levy due to its own legal and cultural traditions of not having full corporate transparency. Yes, the US has the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) now, but the information is not public and isn't even available to non-US banks. Culturally, there's a prevailing notion in the US that business ownership details are "nobody's business except the owners." And the world's biggest economy not being fully on board would present significant challenges to gaining traction for such a levy. Despite these challenges, I think it's an intriguing proposition. The implications for compliance teams are clear: for too long, offshore secrecy has fueled issues like tax evasion, sanctions evasion, corruption, and questionable transactions. We need consistent global standards, and as the FT article notes, even countries like Austria and Spain are lagging behind in corporate transparency. A transparency levy could be a game-changer if it gains enough support. By incentivizing disclosure and penalizing secrecy, it could transform the landscape of financial integrity worldwide, encouraging a "race to the top" for corporate transparency. For those of us in compliance and AML leadership, these developments present an opportunity to push for meaningful reform. Ending corporate secrecy globally is a daunting task, but it starts with innovative policy tools like this—and the courage to implement them. What are your thoughts on this approach? Could such a levy become a catalyst for the transparency we need in global finance? #moneylaundering #KYC #UBO
