PSC Register: What is a relevant legal entity (RLE)?
A legal entity must appear on the company’s PSC register if it is both relevant and registrable. A legal entity is relevant in relation to your company if it meets any one or more of the 5 conditions to being a PSC and:
- holds its own PSC register; or
- has voting shares admitted to trading on a regulated market in the UK or EEA (other than the UK) or on specified markets* in Switzerland, the USA, Japan and Israel
A RLE is registrable in relation to your company if it is the first relevant legal entity in the company’s ownership chain.
Where a RLE has been identified, the following details must be obtained and entered into the PSC register;
- name of the legal entity
- the address of its registered or principle office
- the legal form of the entity and the law by which it is governed
- registration details
- date the legal entity became a RLE
- nature of control
