COM23071 - Assessing: CTSA assessments: discovery assessments (Action Guide)

This page is currently under review

To prepare a discovery assessment, consider steps 1 - 9 below.

1.  Use function TAXW (View Taxpayer Work Lists) to find any open work list entries that may need attention during or after the issue of the discovery assessment.

2.  Use function DASS (Display Assessment Details) to view any assessments that have already been issued for the Accounting Period (AP).

3.  If necessary, take prints of the assessments so you have the figures you need at step 6.

4.  If S458 relief is included in the assessments, set the 바카라 사이트˜CII바카라 사이트™ signal using the 바카라 사이트˜other signals바카라 사이트™ button in function MAPS (Maintain AP Signals) and issue a form CT250(P) to HMRC Payments. This is an eForm available on SEES.

5.  Use the 바카라 사이트˜prepare/amend a discovery assessment바카라 사이트™ option in function RAMA (Record/Amend Assessment).

6.  So COTAX can calculate the tax for the AP, enter:

  • the total of all amounts already assessed to Corporation Tax for the AP in any type of COTAX assessment (revenue determination, self assessment, discovery assessment and so on)
  • any additional amounts you have newly discovered
  • the total amount of any reliefs due for the AP

7.  So COTAX can calculate the further amount to make good the loss of tax, use the 바카라 사이트˜non-standard reduction바카라 사이트™ field to enter the total amount of tax already assessed in all other COTAX assessments for the AP.

8.  Make a free format note that says this notice shows all amounts now assessed and credit for tax already assessed, for the period shown. A letter will follow.

9.  Issue a letter of explanation to the company or its agent.
