Replace the filing member for a Pillar 2 top-up taxes account

Tell HMRC when you have replaced your filing member for an existing Pillar 2 top-up taxes account.

Use this service to replace the filing member for an existing Pillar 2 top-up taxes account.

If your group has not yet registered, you’ll need to register to report Pillar 2 top-up taxes. You can choose to nominate a filing member during registration.

It is a legal requirement to replace your filing member’s details within 6 months of the change occurring in your group.

Who can replace a filing member

Only the new filing member can use this service. This can either be the ultimate parent entity or another company member which has been nominated by the ultimate parent entity.

Filing member responsibilities

As the new filing member, you’ll take over the legal obligations to:

  • act as HMRC’s primary contact in relation to the group’s Pillar 2 top-up tax compliance

  • submit your group’s Pillar 2 top-up tax returns

  • ensure your group’s Pillar 2 top-up taxes account accurately reflects their records

If you fail to meet your obligations as a filing member, you may be liable for penalties.

Before you start

To replace the filing member, you’ll need to provide the Government Gateway user ID for the new filing member.

If the new filing member is a UK limited company, or limited liability partnership, you must also provide the company registration number, and Unique Taxpayer Reference.

You’ll also need to tell us:

  • the group’s Pillar 2 top-up taxes ID

  • the date the group first registered to report their Pillar 2 top up taxes in the UK

  • contact details and preferences, for one or 2 individuals or teams in the group

  • a contact postal address for the group
