Community Amateur Sports Clubs Scheme

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what discussions her Department has had with (a) national sporting bodies and (b) cricket governing bodies on changes to Corporation Tax Return filing arrangements for Community Amateur Sports Clubs.

Answered by Dan Tomlinson

I have assumed this is a reference to the closure of the joint-filing web-based service offered by HMRC and Companies House, which Community Amateur Sports Clubs (CASCs) can use to file Company Tax Returns should they need to.

HMRC announced the closure of the service in February 2025, adding messaging within the service to all users. During April and May 2025 HMRC also wrote to those impacted with support on how to transition.

HMRC have engaged directly with users of the service and with representative bodies about its closure.
