The Charity Commission has issued The Charities (Annual Return) Regulations 2024, which came into force on 1 January 2025.
These regulations set out information that must be included in a registered charity’s annual return for an accounting year ending on or after 1 January 2025.
The Charity Commission says that these regulations have been updated to remove questions in the ‘Locations’ and ‘Structure’ section of the form. The updated regulations include all questions that need to be answered in Part A of the return which remain unchanged from 2023. Charities will be required to complete these in their 2025 Annual Return.
