What makes a CIC different
A CIC is a limited company with a social purpose, defined by its asset lock — its assets and profits must serve the community, not private shareholders. For accounts and tax it behaves like an ordinary company (it pays Corporation Tax and is not a charity), but it carries one extra annual obligation: the CIC34 report to the CIC Regulator, filed via Companies House.
What a CIC files each year
- Annual accounts — 9 months after year end
- CIC34 community interest report — how the CIC benefited the community, plus director pay and any asset transfers, filed with the accounts (with the Companies House CIC fee)
- Confirmation statement — every 12 months
- CT600 Corporation Tax return — to HMRC, 12 months after year end
What we do
