Submit accounting period information for a Co-ownership authorised contractual scheme (CoACS)
Use this service to send accounting period information for a CoACS to HMRC if you are an agent or organisation.
To fulfil tax obligations, the operator of the Co-ownership authorised contractual scheme (CoACS) must make a return of information to HMRC.
This must be done by the information reporting date, which is 6 months after the end of each accounting period.
If you do not provide the information by the reporting date, you may need to pay a penalty.

To complete a report, you’ll need to tell us the:
- CoACS details including the scheme operator’s Corporation Tax Unique Taxpayer Reference if there is one

- name of the CoACS and any sub-schemes
- names and addresses of all participants in the CoACS
- number and classes of units in the CoACS at the end of the accounting period
- amount of income per unit for each class
