Please note that once a scheme has been set up, HMRC will expect annual returns to be made until the scheme is closed. They do not request the subsequent returns but will issue a £100 late filing penalty if a return is not submitted. If there will be no known future reportable events, make sure you submit the final event date to close the scheme.
