Return
One submission of the ILR for a collection period, made by a published deadline.
In full
A return is the ILR as it stands at a collection point, submitted by the deadline in the data collection timetable for the funding year.
Each return restates the whole year to date rather than only what changed, which is why a late correction can move earnings already reported in earlier periods.
The rules behind this
Each ILR return is a complete restatement of the funding year to date, not an increment. Every return replaces the last, which is why an error introduced late can change earnings already reported.
