The Overseas Companies Regulations 2009 were published today on OPSI: see here (html) and here (pdf). An explanatory memorandum is available here and this explains the purpose of the Regulations as follows: Every company incorporated in a country outside the United Kingdom (an overseas company) that operates its business in the United Kingdom through at least one establishment (that is to say either a branch or a place of business that is not a branch) and is not a UK-incorporated subsidiary company, must register its particulars with the Registrar of Companies. The Overseas Companies Regulations 2009, made under the Companies Act 2006 ... set out the UK company law filing requirements for this type of company, which come into effect on 1 October 2009".
Update (17 August 2009): the Regulations were republished by OPSI today: see here.
