Question 1.1.34

Reporting of novation and "novation like" activities.

There are different views in the industry about the reporting process that could require a "novation". The old contract should terminate when the new contract starts or the new reporting should have the original date of the contract as starting date?


Answer

In the Agency’s view, the new contract has to be reported with a new date (using Action type “N”), while the old contract has to be terminated (using Action type “C”). Please see also Question II.1.1.17, Question II.1.1.26, and Question II.3.5.6.
