  1. Removed additional guidance on how to use the consignee spreadsheet to submit 2025 returns. This is because the submission deadline has passed, and the data has been processed and quality assured. Added a link to our guidance on how to submit a consignee return.

  2. Updated the publication 'Details' to say that the returns spreadsheet has been updated. And that you now need to submit your 2025 returns by the dates specified.

  3. Updated the 'Consignee returns spreadsheet issue' section to explain when the updated spreadsheet should be published, and what you'll need to do when it is.

  4. Added to 'Details':You cannot currently submit your consignee returns using the spreadsheet. This is because an update to Microsoft’s security settings has interfered with the essential components of the spreadsheet. You must keep your records for later submission whilst we find a solution. We will contact past consignees and update this page when you are able to submit your consignee returns.
