Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC), UK, requires all UK-based companies, including listed companies, SMEs and foreign subsidiaries operating in the UK, to file their Company Tax Returns (including annual accounts and computations) in iXBRL format with the tax authority. The requirements to file in iXBRL are effective for returns filed after April 1, 2011 for accounting periods ended on or after April 1, 2010. Companies House has also jointly announced with HMRC in September 2009 that it would adopt the same iXBRL format for online submission of accounts. This means that the statutory accounts that must be prepared for company shareholders and that are also sent to HMRC as part of the Company Tax Return will also be accepted by Companies House online. Although Companies House has not yet mandated iXBRL format for such filings, it is currently accepting them on a voluntary basis.<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
