Sending your Annual Return

You can no longer submit paper annual return forms – you must complete your annual return online

You must send an annual return (or update your details) every year if your charity is registered in England or Wales.

This is different from the charity tax return that you send to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).

If your charity’s income is more than £10,000, by law, you must complete an annual return within 10 months of the financial reporting period ending. All CIOs must complete an annual return regardless of their income.
