Guidance on the PSC Regime 
Most UK incorporated companies, UK LLPs and UK Societates must identify the people who have significant control over them. This information must be provided to Companies House, which holds a register of People with Significant Control (PSC register) for each entity registered with it. Companies House must always have information about a company's PSCs, or an update on the status of a company's investigations to establish whether or not they have any.
This duty arises under the Companies Act 2006, as amended by the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023.
This collection provides a short guidance note and a practical checklist aimed at directors and company secretaries to help you understand the PSC regime, the information that must be provided to Companies House and the timeframe within which this must happen. The abolition of a company's own individually held statutory PSC register is a significant change to the PSC regime and companies need to make sure that they get the process right.
