Statistical Notice 2026/06 - Form PL - updates to definitions

News-screening summary only. This is not investment advice and does not confirm market response.

The Bank of England has issued Statistical Notice 2026/06 announcing updates to Form PL (Profit and Loss) definitions to improve alignment with ONS UK National Accounts requirements. Updated definitions will be published on 31 July 2026 and take effect from Q1 2027 reporting (submissions due May 2027). The key change clarifies the treatment of tax items classified as taxes on production and related charges. No major changes in aggregate reporting are anticipated, but affected firms must review, update systems, and ensure team awareness ahead of Q1 2027.
