A UK art & antiques dealer in London. The facts below are drawn only from public registers — the HMRC AML Supervised Business Register, the GOV.UK published-penalties list and Companies House.
What the public registers say about this business — the same registers a client, a bank or an inspector can review in minutes.
Public registers can't show whether these exist inside a gallery — which is exactly why the evidence file matters. The Money Laundering Regulations 2017 set the same standing expectations for every HMRC-supervised art market participant:
On the HMRC Anti-Money-Laundering Supervised Business Register, TAYLOR HOWES DESIGNS LTD appears with status APPROVED (registration number XTML00000192827). Art market participants — dealers and galleries trading in works over €10,000 — must be supervised by HMRC; unlike accountancy or legal services, there is no professional-body supervision route for this sector. This is drawn from HMRC's own public register; the register itself is the authoritative record, and registration decisions are HMRC's alone. If any detail is out of date, email hello@artguard.uk and we'll correct it within one working day.
The same as for every HMRC-supervised art market participant: a written, dated firm-wide risk assessment; policies, controls and procedures; a nominated officer (MLRO); a per-client due-diligence file with identity verified and ongoing monitoring recorded; a staff-training log; and records kept for five years and retrievable. Public registers can't show whether these exist inside a gallery — which is why the evidence file matters. This describes the standing duties in the Money Laundering Regulations 2017, not an assessment of this business.
Yes — TAYLOR HOWES DESIGNS LTD appears on the GOV.UK published-penalties list ("Businesses that have not complied with the Money Laundering Regulations"), most recently for the 2018-2019 period. This is HMRC's own public disclosure and cannot be removed. It is a matter of public record, not an ArtGuard judgement. The strongest answer to a past finding is a complete, dated evidence file going forward. If you believe this entry is wrong, email hello@artguard.uk.
