Consultation on form changes
Updated 14 August 2023
Our consultation on proposed changes to our forms is now open. The proposed changes are to the Tier 1-4 Annual Return Forms (including update details form) and Registration Application Form. The consultation will run from 14 August until 24 October 2023.
Why are we changing our forms?
As a result of the Charities Act and the External Reporting Board (XRB) changes, we’re reviewing the forms charities use to register, report, and update their details. We’ve been holding off on making changes for a while to align with the changes to the reporting standards set by XRB.
These changes will improve the quality of information on the Charities Register, make it easier for charities to report and speed up the registration process.
We’re hoping to have the new forms ready by the middle of next year. Your feedback is essential to making sure these are fit for purpose.
