New SGE guidance for large private groups

Read our tailored guidance on reporting significant global entity (SGE) status.

Last updated 29 January 2026

We’ve released new web guidance for large privately owned and wealthy groups (private groups) on assessing and reporting SGE status.

If your private group includes an entity that is – or might be – an SGE, read the guidance for information on getting SGE self-assessment right.

Correct SGE self-assessment and status reporting is important, as SGEs may be subject to increased penalties and certain tax integrity measures. SGEs that are also country-by-country reporting entities may have additional reporting obligations.

What the guidance covers

The new guidance outlines:

  • our SGE status reporting and record-keeping expectations
  • practical examples of SGE self-assessment featuring common private group structures
  • low-risk scenarios where SGE status reporting is unlikely to raise compliance concerns.
