Public register of people with significant control

Following consultation, the government has confirmed it has published final sets of draft regulations for the establishment of a public register of information about people with significant control (PSCs) over UK companies and LLPs. Companies and LLPs will be required to hold their own registers from 6 April 2016 and this information must be provided to Companies House from 30 June 2016 onwards. The only exceptions will be where public disclosure might place individuals at serious risk of violence or intimidation. See www.bit.ly/1NzUskJ.
