Use this service to send accounting period information to HMRC if you are an agent or organisation.

To operate as a Reserved Investor Fund (RIF), you’ll need to make a return of information within 6 months after the end of each accounting period.

What you’ll need to tell us about the scheme

To complete a report, you’ll need to tell us:
- scheme details including the scheme operators Corporation Tax Unique Taxpayer Reference if there is one
- business name and address of the operator
- accounting period start and end dates
You’ll need to fill in and save the ‘Participants and units in the scheme’ template with details of the:
- name of the RIF or any sub-schemes
- names and addresses of all participants in the scheme
- number and classes of units held in the scheme by each participant at the end of the accounting period
- amount of income per unit for each class
If the participant left the scheme before the end of the accounting period, we still need you to provide their name and address. Their number of units should be marked as 0.

There are 2 tabs in the template, you must make sure that you complete both.

What you’ll need to tell us about the restriction requirement

You’ll need to tell us which restriction conditions were met by the RIF or any sub-schemes at any time during the accounting period.

If the fund or any sub-scheme met the exempt investor condition you must confirm that:

If the RIF is an umbrella fund with any sub-schemes which met or were treated as meeting the UK property-rich condition

If any sub-scheme made disposals during the period, or any participants disposed of units, you’ll need to fill in and save the ‘UK property-rich umbrella’ template with details of the:
- total value of all disposals of assets made by each sub-scheme when it met or was treated as meeting the UK property-rich condition
- difference between the total gains and losses on those disposals
- number of units disposed of by each participant
- value of the disposals of units by the participants, if available to you
- difference between the total gains and losses on those disposals, if available to you

If the RIF or sub-scheme stops meeting the UK property-rich condition during the period

If the fund relied on the UK property-rich condition, stopped meeting this condition and at that time then met the non-UK property assets condition, you’ll need to confirm:
- that there was a deemed disposal under Regulation 15(3)
- the date of that deemed disposal
If the RIF or sub-scheme stopped meeting the UK property-rich condition and does not meet any other restriction condition while winding up, Regulation 19 may apply to treat the scheme as if it continues to meet the UK property-rich condition.

If Regulation 19 applies you’ll need to confirm the:
- regulation applies to the RIF or sub-scheme
- expected end date of the winding up period
