New UK regs require email to include more business info
An article published on The Register (21/12/06) outlined regulatory changes that will effect UK business email. From the 1st of January 2007 companies in the UK will be required to include certain regulatory information on all business email. This update to the Companies Act requires you to clearly present the following information on your business emails:
- Company Registration Number;
- Place of registration (e.g. England);
- Registered office address.
The article, which was written by Outlaw.com outlined how businesses failing to include this information will be in breach of the Companies Act and this can result in a fine.
Outlaw.com suggest that "the information is likely to appear in the footer of every email sent from a company, to avoid having to decide whether each email amounts to a "business letter" or not. Many companies do this already because the term "business letters" was thought likely to include emails even without this new clarification".
