# TCSPs including company secretaries, nominee directors and virtual offices face broad Tranche 2 capture. Here's what you need to know before 1 July 2026.

From 1 July 2026, new AML/CTF compliance obligations (called Tranche 2) will apply to Trust and Company Service Providers, including nominee director and virtual address services. AUSTRAC enrolment opens 31 March 2026.

![TCSPs including company secretaries, nominee directors and virtual offices face broad Tranche 2 capture. Here's what you need to know before 1 July 2026. professionals](/assets/tcsp-office-B8h9DKfm.jpg)

## The path to 1 July 2026 is defined by clear legislative and regulatory milestones

AML/CTF Amendment Act Passed

Nov 2024

Finalisation of AML/CTF Rules

Aug 2025

Core Guidance from AUSTRAC

Oct 2025

TCSP-Specific Guidance

Early 2026

AUSTRAC Enrolment Opens

31 Mar 2026

Mandatory Compliance Commences

1 Jul 2026

TCSP services are attractive to criminals for creating structures that obscure who truly owns and controls assets. The central threat regulators are targeting is the concealment of beneficial ownership and control.

## The definition of a 'TCSP' is broader than you think

The new rules capture a wide spectrum of common business services, far beyond traditional secretarial firms. If you provide the services below, you will likely have new obligations.

### Traditional Corporate Services

-   • Company formation agents & ASIC agents
-   • Shelf company wholesalers
-   • Dedicated corporate secretarial firms
-   • Company registration services (e.g. running APIs to incorporate companies)

### Structuring & Nominee Specialists

-   • Boutique 'asset protection' or 'wealth structuring' shops
-   • Firms providing nominee directors or shareholders
-   • Firms acting as a corporate trustee or appointor

### Ancillary & 'As-a-Service' Providers

-   • Serviced offices with 'virtual office' or 'registered address' packages
-   • Coworking spaces that sell a 'use our address on ASIC' service
-   • Accountants who routinely form companies for clients

## ML/TF/PF Risks in the TCSP Sector

TCSPs face significant money laundering (ML), terrorism financing (TF) and proliferation financing (PF) risks. The central threat regulators are targeting is the concealment of beneficial ownership and control.

#### Identity Verification

Customer due diligence

Inadequate verification of customer identity leading to onboarding of high-risk clients.

#### Unusual Transactions

Transaction monitoring

Failure to detect structured payments or unusual transaction patterns.

#### Sanctions Exposure

Prohibited dealings

Risk of inadvertently dealing with sanctioned entities or persons.

#### Beneficial Ownership

Ownership opacity

Complex ownership structures obscuring the true beneficial owners of assets or entities.

Designated Services 

## If you provide these services, you have new obligations

The new regime is based on the services you provide, not your business type or how you brand yourself.

### Forming & Restructuring Entities

-   • 'Company registration' packages and establishing trusts.
-   • Selling or transferring shelf companies.
-   • Managing corporate group restructures.

### Acting in Key & Nominee Roles

-   • Acting as (or arranging for) a director, secretary, or trustee.
-   • Providing nominee shareholders for a company.
-   • Acting as an attorney for a legal arrangement.

### Providing Registered / Business Addresses

-   • Providing a registered office address.
-   • Providing a principal place of business address.
-   • Includes 'virtual office' and 'maildrop' services.

### Managing Client Property for Transactions

-   • Receiving, holding, or managing client money, accounts, or securities to execute a transaction.
-   • Assisting in organising equity or debt financing.

## One Sector Pack, Multiple Services

Our TCSP Sector Pack covers all TCSP designated services including company formation, nominee directors, virtual addresses and corporate trustees. If your business only provides one specific service, you may prefer a niche-specific pack.

[

### Virtual Address Pack

For businesses focused solely on registered office and address services.

](/virtual-address)[

### Nominee Director Pack

For businesses providing only nominee director and officer services.

](/tcsp/nominee-directors)

## Who May Be Captured?

The key trigger is designated services. Company formation agents, virtual offices and nominee service providers are all potentially in scope.

Corporate trustees

Acting as trustee for third parties

Company secretarial services

Providing directors and secretaries

Registered office providers

ASIC registered office services

Nominee shareholders

Holding shares on behalf of others

Virtual office providers

Business address and mail handling

Whether you are captured depends on the designated services you provide. If unsure whether you're covered, please seek legal advice. Even if you are not covered, you may consider implementing guardrails to ensure you don't accidentally cross lines.

## Recognising the hallmarks of misuse

### Structural Red Flags

-   • Unnecessary complexity; multiple layers without clear commercial reason.
-   • Use of shell companies with no real activity.
-   • Opaque offshore foundations or private trusts.

### Behavioural Red Flags

-   • Evasive or vague responses about beneficial owners.
-   • Insistence on nominees without commercial justification.
-   • Requests to backdate documents.
-   • Walking away when asked for beneficial owner ID.

### Transactional Red Flags

-   • Funds passing through accounts with no clear business purpose ('pass-through').
-   • Funds coming from or going to unrelated third parties.
-   • Rapid 'u-turn' transactions.

### Jurisdictional Red Flags

-   • Use of multiple offshore financial centres and secrecy jurisdictions.
-   • Entities formed in one country, banking in another, with owners in a third.
-   • Structures designed to arbitrage regulatory or tax differences.

## Once you are a reporting entity, you have six fundamental compliance  obligations

### 1.  Enrol with AUSTRAC

Formally register your practice as a reporting entity.

### 2.  Develop & Maintain an AML/CTF Program

Create a written, risk-based program tailored to your firm's specific ML/TF risks. This is the cornerstone of your compliance.

### 3.  Conduct Customer Due Diligence (CDD)

Identify and verify your clients and their beneficial owners before providing a designated service, and monitor them on an ongoing basis.

### 4.  Report to AUSTRAC

Submit Suspicious Matter Reports (SMRs) and Threshold Transaction Reports (TTRs) as required.

### 5.  Keep Records

Maintain all relevant records of CDD, transactions and your AML/CTF program for prescribed periods.

### 6.  Appoint an AML/CTF Compliance Officer

Designate a senior individual responsible for the oversight of your program.
