A PSC is defined as an individual that:

holds the right, directly or indirectly, to appoint or remove a majority of the board of directors of the company; or
has the right to exercise, or actually exercises, significant influence or control over the company; or
where a trust or firm would satisfy any of the above conditions, any individual that has the right to exercise, or actually exercises, significant influence or control over the activities of that trust or firm.
The details of the individuals which need to be entered on the register include:
name and address
usual residential address, country of residence and nationality
date of birth
date when they became a PSC
the nature of their control over the company.
Failure to comply with the requirements of the PSC regime could lead to the company or directors, or identified PSCs committing a criminal offence. The company and its directors could face a fine or imprisonment or both.
