CHF - PSC02 – Notice of Relevant Legal Entity (RLE) with Significant Control

Under the Companies Act 2006, as amended by the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023, most UK companies (and LLPs) are required to identify the people with significant control over them (PSCs) and provide this information to Companies House where this information is publicly recorded. This includes those who own or control (directly or indirectly) more than 25% of the entity. Companies (and LLPs) are required to file this information with Companies House.

Companies House Form PSC02 Notice of RLE with Significant Control, should be used to give notice to Companies House of a relevant legal entity (RLE) with significant control.

Note that the PSC register at Companies House cannot be left blank. Failure to comply with the regime and provide timely and accurate PSC information to Companies House, without a reasonable excuse, is a criminal offence. Failure to comply (by companies, their officers and those required to provide the relevant information) is a criminal offence, with those found guilty facing up to two years imprisonment and/or a fine.

Information on the PSC register at Companies House must be kept up to date.
