Submit your Soft Drinks Industry Levy return
Use this online service to submit a return.
Use this service to submit your Soft Drinks Industry Levy return if you’re registered for the levy. After you’ve submitted the return, you’ll need to pay any levy due.
You should not use a return ending after 1 April 2025 to claim credits for levy accounted for or paid in returns ending on or before 31 March 2025. This could result in an incorrect claim. To claim these credits, read the section ‘Claiming credits following 1 April 2025 rate change’ in Soft Drinks Industry Levy returns and records (notice 2).
Online services may be slow during busy times. Check if there are any problems with this service.
Before you start
Read Soft Drinks Industry Levy returns and records (notice 2) to find out what you need to include in your return.
You’ll need the Government Gateway user ID and password you used when you registered for the levy.
If you’re registered for the levy and have nothing to report for a period, you should submit a nil return, unless you’re only registered as a small producer. If you do not submit your return when you should, HMRC can charge you an estimate of what you owe.
