The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what is the number of of Overseas Entities who have (a) disclosed another entity as their beneficial owner; (b) declared that they do not have a beneficial owner and (c) declared a trust or trustee as their beneficial owner.
Answered by Blair McDougall
Over 33,000 overseas entities have registered on the Register of Overseas Entities, supporting transparency over beneficial ownership.
Companies House does not publish or verify figures for the number of overseas entities that have (a) disclosed another entity as their beneficial owner, (b) declared that they do not have a beneficial owner, or (c) declared a trust or trustee as their beneficial owner.
