Charity Annual Return changes from 1 Jan 2025
6th January 2025
The regulations which prescribe the required content in a Charity’s annual return were updated on 20 December and come into force for annual returns filed in relation to accounting year ends of 1 January 2025 and thereafter.
All charities registered with the Charity Commission must file an annual return, but the size of the income of the charity will stipulate how many questions are required to be answered. Typically, this increases based on the level of income of the charity.
The Charities (Annual Return) Regulations 2024 were published on 20 December 2024 and remove questions relating to locations and structure – both points that were questioned in the public consultation.
The full list of questions and which are applicable to each size of charity can be found here: The Charities (Annual Return) Regulations 2024 – GOV.UK
