Corporate Interest Restriction (CIR) legislation became effective from 1 April 2017 and applies to corporate entities. HMRC has developed an Application Programming Interface (API) for submitting Interest Restriction Returns (IRR) and for reporting company appointments and revocations. This will be available for use from June 2021.
