Help HMRC improve the Corporate Interest Restriction return

HMRC are looking for agents to help them improve the Corporate Interest Restriction return digital service available on GOV.UK.

Corporate Interest Restriction (CIR) applies to corporate entities and aims to restrict a group’s deductions for interest expense and other financing costs for corporation tax purposes.

Following feedback from users of the existing CIR online form (see tinyurl.com/zkhf4muj), HMRC is building a new digital service. 

Can you help HMRC to develop this service?

If all the following statements apply to you, HMRC have said that it would be very helpful to them if they could talk to you and show you their latest prototype:

• I have personally prepared or submitted a CIR return in the past two years.
• My agency submits three or less CIR returns per year.
• I have not participated in any research with HMRC in the past three months.

The research will take place by way of interviews on 12 and 13 April with further sessions available later in May and June.

You can sign up to talk to HMRC’s researchers through Help make GOV.UK better at: tinyurl.com/9tramh4y.

If you would like more information about the research sessions, please contact Rachel Gage at: rachel.gage@digital.hmrc.gov.uk.
