Make a Reserved Investor Fund change notification

Tell HMRC when the Reserved Investor Fund (RIF) exits the regime, changes its structure or changes how it meets the qualifying conditions.

Make a notification for changes to the scheme

You must tell us when the scheme: 

  • chooses to exit the regime
  • breaches one or more of the qualifying conditions and stops being a Reserved Investor Fund (RIF)
  • has been treating the ownership requirement as met, but no longer expects to meet this requirement in the initial period
  • has been treating the UK property rich condition as met, but no longer expects to meet this condition in the initial period
  • no longer expects to rectify a breach of the ownership requirement within 9 months of the breach
  • no longer expects to rectify a breach of the restriction requirement within 9 months of the breach
  • changes the restriction condition it is relying on to meet the restriction requirement for the scheme
  • is an umbrella scheme that establishes a new sub-scheme or winds up an existing sub-scheme
