PSC statement update deadline (14 days)

UK companies must keep their Persons with Significant Control (PSC) register up to date. Any change must be notified to Companies House within 14 days of the company updating its internal PSC register.

What is this filing?

The PSC register lists individuals who own or control the company — typically those holding more than 25% of shares or voting rights, or exercising significant control by other means. The register is part of the public CH record and is also confirmed annually through the confirmation statement.

When is it due?

14 days from the date the company's internal PSC register is updated. The internal register itself must be updated 'as soon as reasonably practicable' after the change.

What's the penalty for missing it?

Failure to comply is a criminal offence punishable by a fine of up to £1,000 plus a daily default fine. Directors are personally liable. Persistent failure can trigger striking-off and disqualification.
