What is form MR01 (Particulars of a charge) and when do you use one? A charge granted by a company registered in the UK must be filed at Companies House unless an exception in section 859A(6) of the Companies Act 2006 (CA 2006) applies (see: Which company charges are registrable at Companies House?). Missing the filing window can have serious consequences, so it is essential to complete registration within the required period. Form MR01 (Particulars of a charge) is the Companies House document used to record a company charge where the charge is: created, or evidenced, by an instrument dated on or after 6 April 2013 made by a UK-registered company If a company charge is not created or evidenced by an instrument, you should instead use form MR08 (Particulars of a charge where there is no instrument) to register it at Companies House. For details of other Companies House forms for registering company charges, see: ...

People with significant control (PSC) regime The architecture of the people with significant control (PSC) regime, which first commenced on 6 April 2016, is contained in Part 21A of the Companies Act 2006 (CA 2006). Its purpose is to tackle worries about the lack of transparency in corporate ownership, where historically the register captured only the legal holder of shares, not always the beneficial owner. By requiring a PSC register, more precise and up‑to‑date details are available about who ultimately owns and directs companies and other bodies, and this information is made public via the central register at Companies House and remains accessible to the public. It assists prospective investors in their decision‑making. It likewise aids law enforcement bodies with money laundering enquiries. LLPs formed under the Limited Liability Partnerships Act 2000 must keep a record of persons with significant control over the LLP under the Limited Liability Partnerships (Register of People with Significant Control) Regulations 2016, SI 2016/340 (the LLP Regulations), as amended by the Information about People...
NOTE—to check whether notification thresholds in Vietnam and worldwide are triggered, please consult: Where to Notify. 1. Have there been any recent developments regarding the Vietnamese merger control regime and are any updates/developments expected in the coming year? Are there any other ‘hot’ merger control issues in Vietnam? In 2020, Vietnam promulgated Decree 35 on Detailed Regulations for Implementation of the Law on Competition dated 24 March 2020 (Decree 35), which became effective on 15 May 2020. This marked a pivotal step in putting into operation the competition framework envisaged under the Law on Competition dated 12 June 2018 (Competition Law). The body designated under the Competition Law, the Vietnam Competition Committee (VCC), was established on 1 April 2023 and from that date assumed responsibility for the merger control regime. Decree 35 introduced the following clarifications to merger control: Notification thresholds, under which a transaction must be notified where: the total assets or turnover in Vietnam of...
This Practice Note deals with the application of the residence rules to people leaving the UK after 5 April 2013. The UK introduced its first codified individual tax residence test—the statutory residence test (SRT)—with effect from 6 April 2013. For detailed guidance on the SRT, refer to the Residence after 5 April 2013 Practice Note. Prior to that date, an individual’s UK tax residence was assessed by reference to a patchwork of narrow statutory provisions, case law, established practice and HMRC guidance. Status for any period before 6 April 2013 must therefore still be established under those earlier rules. Application of the SRT looks in part at whether a person was UK resident in the preceding three tax years, meaning residence outcomes for 2010/11, 2011/12 and/or 2012/13 matter when assessing residence from 6 April 2013. Although the pre‑2013/14 years remain governed by the old law, an individual may choose to have their residence in one or more of those years determined under the SRT, solely for the purpose of...

Q&A For this Q&A, we take 'email journaling' to mean a method whereby messages entering or leaving a server are duplicated and sent to a single designated mailbox, creating a record of every message in and out, arranged in a user-selected order (typically by date/time). We have limited this response to circumstances that fit those assumptions, and to cases where the journal mailbox cannot be changed or interfered with by any server user holding normal privileges...
