Details

Before you submit your employment related securities (EMI) return or notification, you need to save a copy of it for your own records.

The online service will not save the details and you will not be able to access them again.

Use the template to tell HMRC about EMI options granted to more than 30 employees. Use the guidance and technical notes to help you complete the template.

If you are providing details for 30 employees or less, you can fill in the details online. You may want to take screenshots of each page and save them.

For EMI schemes you must tell HMRC about a grant of an EMI option:

  • within 92 days of the date of grant — if the option was granted before 6 April 2024
  • by 6 July following the end of the tax year the grant was made in — or you risk losing any tax benefits for you and your employees

If you fail to notify HMRC within these deadlines you risk losing any tax benefits for you and your employees.
