The United Kingdom publishes two related things and the difference matters.

Two lists

The UK Sanctions List, maintained by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, records designations under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act and states the statement of reasons for each.

The consolidated list of financial sanctions targets, maintained by OFSI, is the operational file for firms: it carries the identifying data needed for screening, in CSV and XML.

The broader test

UK financial sanctions catch entities owned or controlled by a designated person, and the control limb has no percentage threshold. A structure engineered to fall below OFAC’s fifty per cent rule can be squarely inside the UK asset freeze.

Because control is not something a list can enumerate, the UK list — like every other — is a floor rather than a complete answer.
