The possible prefixes are AC for an assurance company in England and Wales, FC for a foreign company in England and Wales, GE for a European Economic Interest Grouping in England and Wales, GN for an EEIG in Northern Ireland, GS for an EEIG in Scotland, IC for an investment company with variable capital in England and Wales, IP for an industrial and provident society in England and Wales, LP for a limited partnership in England and Wales, NA for an assurance company in Northern Ireland, NF for a foreign company in Northern Ireland, NI for a Northern Ireland company, NL for a limited partnership in Northern Ireland, which does not apply to corporation tax and should not be used, NO for other Northern Ireland, NP for an industrial and provident society in Northern Ireland, NR for a royal charter in Northern Ireland, NZ for not Companies Act Northern Ireland, OC for other England and Wales, which is used only for limited liability partnership cases in liquidation, R for a Northern Ireland company registered before the partition of Ireland in 1922, RC for a royal charter in England and Wales, SA for an assurance company in Scotland, SC for a Scottish company, SF for a foreign company in Scotland, SI for an investment company with variable capital in Scotland, SL for a limited partnership in Scotland, whose companies are not liable to corporation tax and must not be set up on COTAX, SO for other Scotland, which must only be used for limited liability partnership cases in liquidation, SP for an industrial or provident society in Scotland, SR for a royal charter in Scotland, SZ for not Companies Act Scotland and ZC for not Companies Act England and Wales.

A value with too few, too many or misplaced digits or letters, or one that lacks the prefix, violates the rule. |
