Annual Returns are due within 6 months of a charity’s balance date (financial year-end), or a longer period if an extension has been granted.

Note: Charities that use the Tier 4 Combined Form to file their annual returns do not need to file their financial statements separately. The financial statements are included in their annual return summary.

The first annual return due on the 30/09/2010 will cover less than six months after the charity is registered. For this reason the charity should be granted an exemption to filing their first annual return under s41 (1), and the first annual return will be due by the 30/09/2011.

The trustees agree that, as a condition of registration and in accordance with s61B of the Charitable Trusts Act 1957, clause 15.2.1 of the Rules will be interpreted to hold that any remaining property and assets must be distributed to a charitable purpose or purposes in the event of winding up.
