Send a charity's annual return

You must use this service to report your charity’s total income and expenditure, even if you do not need to send a full annual return.

Report within 10 months of the end of your financial year, and send a full annual return if either:

• your charity’s income is more than £10,000
• your charity is a charitable incorporated organisation

There are different rules if your charity is registered in Scotland or Northern Ireland.

This annual return is different from:

• your charity’s annual accounts
• the charity tax return you send to HMRC

Before you start

You need to set up a My Charity Commission Account before you can send your charity’s annual return.

You must submit any annual returns from previous years before you can submit your latest one.
