Incorporation rejects due to s243 exemption

Companies House New Incorporations examination teams are rejecting a high number of Incorporation applications due to customers incorrectly ticking the “Section 243 Exemption” box.

Customers are reminded that this should only be ticked by an individual who is currently the beneficiary of, or in the process of applying for, a Section 243 Exemption. Please note, to be considered as ‘in the process of applying’, your application form must have been received by Companies House.’   This exemption is only applicable to individuals who can prove they are at risk of violence or intimidation and serves as added security to protect their URA from being disclosed to credit reference agencies”.
