Annual Returns

As a charity operating in the UK, it is mandatory to submit your annual return within 10 months from the end of your financial year. For instance, if your financial year concludes on 31st December, your submission deadline would be 31st October of the following year. Ensure compliance with Charity Commission regulations by submitting your annual return on time. Skyrock Accountants can assist you in meeting these deadlines seamlessly, allowing you to focus on your charitable activities with peace of mind.
