Some content of this manual is being considered for archiving. If there is content you use regularly, please email hmrcmanualsteam@hmrc.gov.uk to let us know as soon as possible.

DMBM655450 tells you to create Indirect Tax work items on IDMS. This paragraph provides further information on how to create these work items. All the information needed to create the work item should be available form the referral sheet. If it isn바카라 사이트™t, you should contact the DMU who referred the case to you.

IDMS will only allow the following for HOD type 바카라 사이트˜B바카라 사이트™ debts

  • ASN: this is the year of the charge and must be between 1950 and 2025, followed by a two digit sequence number
  • Inst: this will always be 바카라 사이트˜01바카라 사이트™ and cannot therefore be used as an identification as to the type of debt
  • Int Ind: this will always be blank (so interest charges will just be recorded on IDMS like any other charge)

The following examples illustrate how to put the charges on IDMS. In practice DMUs will provide totals (including more than one period but showing the final period end of the amount referred) for each HOD

  • Excise duty PE 31.12.05: if this is the first charge you have raised for 2005 use the year 2005 followed by 01, that is 200501 01
  • VAT PE 30.6.06: if this is the first charge you have raised for 2006 use the year 2006 followed by 01, that is 200601 01
  • VAT PE 31.3.07: if this is the first charge you have raised for 2007 use the year 2007 followed by 01, that is 200701 01
  • Excise duty PE 30.9.06: if this is the third charge you have raised for 2006 use the year 2006 followed by 03, that is 200603 01
  • Distraint costs (levy carried out in 2008): use the year 2008 followed by the next available consecutive number, that is 200804 01.

Further details of the type of debt including the relevant Period End (where known) should be entered onto the 바카라 사이트˜Notes and Assets바카라 사이트™ screen. The Non-VAT Debt Unit will give full details of the type of debt in the 바카라 사이트˜Notes바카라 사이트™ section of the referral form.

In order to avoid any confusion when speaking to the debtors, please refer to the type of Indirect Tax debt and the relevant period and not the IDMS reference number.

VAT debts (all types)

These should be entered onto IDMS as 바카라 사이트˜Tax바카라 사이트™. IDMS can now be used to produce forms C204 and Statement of Liability for these debts.
