To submit a return, you’ll need to already have a reporting company appointed.
Your reporting company must submit a return within 12 months of the end of the reporting period the return is for.
The method by which a Corporate Interest Restriction return must be submitted is changing. From late 2022, you will be required to submit your return electronically either using commercial software or by completing our online form and template. This applies to both original and revised returns, whether full or abbreviated.
For further information, you may read the draft legislation (PDF, 158 KB, 3 pages) and the draft explanatory memorandum (PDF, 149 KB, 3 pages).
