B.A.T. CHINA LIMITED is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in United Kingdom under 00134409, and its current status with Companies House is active. The company was incorporated on 6 March 1914 and lists its registered address as LONDON, United Kingdom. 2 shareholders are on record for B.A.T. CHINA LIMITED, and since every one of them is a company rather than an individual, this particular filing does not on its own establish an ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) — identifying one would mean tracing the ownership of each shareholding company in turn. This profile is sourced directly from Companies House and was last updated on 22 September 2026.

Shareholders of B.A.T. CHINA LIMITED

Two shareholders are currently on record for B.A.T. CHINA LIMITED, held on the Confirmation Statement (CS01), filed under the Companies Act 2006. The largest of these is BRITISH AMERICAN TOBACCO CHINA HOLDINGS LTD, holding 100% — a majority holding — followed by POWHATTAN LTD at 0%. Because every shareholder shown is a company rather than an individual, the ownership chain continues above this level, and no beneficial owner can be established from this filing alone.

Officers

65

Directors and officers of B.A.T. CHINA LIMITED

The Director of B.A.T. CHINA LIMITED currently on record is David Booth; five of the 65 officer records shown for B.A.T. CHINA LIMITED are current appointments, filed with Companies House. The remaining 60 records shown (David Berry, David Jones and 56 others) are former appointments that have since been resigned. Management authority at B.A.T. CHINA LIMITED sits with these individuals, not with shareholders, who are covered separately and hold ownership rather than control. The source filing doesn't specify representation authority — whether officers can act individually or must sign jointly to bind the company — so that detail isn't available here.

Group Structure

Group structure of B.A.T. CHINA LIMITED

B.A.T. CHINA LIMITED sits 7 levels below its ultimate parent, BRITISH AMERICAN TOBACCO P.L.C., registered in United Kingdom. 1 subsidiary is recorded beneath it, across 2 jurisdictions. The full chain up to BRITISH AMERICAN TOBACCO P.L.C. is derived by walking shareholder filings across jurisdictions; no link in it is independently corroborated by B.A.T. CHINA LIMITED's own shareholder record. Each of these downward relationships is derived rather than filed: resolved by matching entities across the registry network, not stated directly in a single document.

  • B.A.T. CHINA LIMITED (Hong Kong)

Data availability

Those 1 subsidiary spans United Kingdom, Hong Kong jurisdictions, though this list should not be read as complete — subsidiaries only become visible here where shareholder data has actually been filed with a register, so holdings in jurisdictions without that filing simply won't appear.

Who owns B.A.T. CHINA LIMITED?

The largest of these is BRITISH AMERICAN TOBACCO CHINA HOLDINGS LTD, holding 100% — a majority holding — followed by POWHATTAN LTD at 0%.

Who is B.A.T. CHINA LIMITED's UBO (Ultimate Beneficial Owner)?

Can Zavia monitor changes to B.A.T. CHINA LIMITED's ownership over time?

This profile reflects a point-in-time snapshot from Companies House. Zavia's monitoring API can track changes to B.A.T. CHINA LIMITED's registered shareholders, officers, and group structure going forward, flagging updates as they're filed rather than requiring a manual recheck.

Can I access B.A.T. CHINA LIMITED's data through an API?

Yes. Zavia's API connects directly to official government ownership registries across 195 countries and territories, including United Kingdom, so records like B.A.T. CHINA LIMITED's registration, shareholder, UBO, and group-structure data can be queried programmatically instead of viewed one page at a time.
