The 2023/24 tax year has ended so now is the time to start thinking about your annual employee share plan reporting obligations. Annual returns for the last tax year must be filed online with HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) by 6 July 2024 and are due in respect of all the employee share plans or arrangements you had in place during that period, even if there has been no activity.

The filing process can be time-consuming and tricky to navigate so the sooner you start it the better. If you need help in dealing with your returns, please get in touch with a member of the Travers Smith Incentives Team.

Points to note:

  • 6 July 2024 is a hard deadline, so it is important you submit your returns by that date (note that it falls on a Saturday this year). Companies will not receive a reminder from HMRC to file their returns so don't wait for one!
