Nil returns

If a group thinks that they may have exceeded the revenue thresholds for the DST period they should register within 90 days from the end of their first DST accounting period to avoid a potential late notification penalty. Should they subsequently find out that they have not exceeded the revenue thresholds, they should contact HMRC to explain the situation.

Penalties for failing to notify

If the responsible member fails to notify HMRC within 90 days of the end of the first accounting period for which the thresholds have been reached the responsible member will be liable to a penalty under Schedule 41 of Finance Act 2008, unless there is a reasonable excuse.
