UK: The Scottish Partnerships (Register of People with Significant Control) Regulations 2017

The Scottish Partnerships (Register of People with Significant Control) Regulations 2017 were laid before Parliament last week. A copy of the Regulations is available here and here (pdf). The Regulations came into force today (although regulation 4 and regulation 81 will come into force on 24 July) and their effect is to require (a) Scottish Limited Partnerships and (b) General Scottish Partnerships where all partners are corporate bodies, to maintain a register of people with significant control.

The following documents have been published alongside the Regulations: an impact assessment (pdf) and a transposition note (pdf). Companies House has also published guidance - see here - as has the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy: see here.
