Each limited company, on becoming a company, is entered on a
National Register at Companies House (Cardiff) and is assigned a
registration number. This is known as the Company Registration
Number (CRN) and forms the main part of the Shares and Assets
Valuation (SAV) (
IHTM18141) reference for UK shares, for
example CRN00123456D.
Occasionally, UK companies are not registered at Companies
House, or a CRN cannot be found. This may be because they are
unlimited, or registered under a different Act. These are dealt
with by SAV at sequentially numbered files, such as PSV123456Q.
If the unlisted shares are foreign you must still complete a
Val70. There are no CRNs for foreign companies and so they are
usually dealt with at numbered FSV files, for example FSV123456N.
The valuation will be dealt with by SV (Foreign).
