CTM17580 | Distributions: purchase of own shares: return of payment

From HM Revenue & Customs · Company Taxation Manual

If a company undertakes a purchase of its own shares that it believes falls within , it must make a return of the transaction to HMRC ().

This return must:

  • be made within 60 days of the payment,

  • give particulars of the payment, and

  • explain why the company believes that applies to the payment so as to exempt it from treatment as a distribution.

The company must make such a return even if the Commissioners have confirmed that will apply to the payment.
