Beneficial Owners and the CRBR – Getting the Analysis Right
Polish companies must report their beneficial owners to the Central Register of Beneficial Owners (CRBR), and keep that report up to date whenever the ownership structure changes.
The filing itself is short. The analysis behind it is not. Identifying who qualifies as a beneficial owner under the AML Act — through holding companies, trusts, nominee arrangements or indirect shareholdings — is where most reporting errors come from, and where our advisory work sits.

We assist with
Analysing your ownership structure against the AML Act definition
Documenting the reasoning behind each identified beneficial owner
Preparing and checking the data set for the report
Flagging changes in the structure that trigger an update obligation
It’s mandatory for Sp. z o.o., partnerships, and foreign-owned entities.
The CRBR report is submitted free of charge through the Ministry of Finance portal at crbr.podatki.gov.pl, and must be signed by a person authorised to represent the company using a qualified electronic signature or a Trusted Profile. It is not something a third party can file on your behalf. We prepare and verify the content; you sign and submit it.
