Log the return
2. Use function LRTN (Log Return) to record receipt of the return.
3. If the period covered by the return does not appear on the list of APs on the LRTN screen:
- change the entry in the 바카라 사이트˜Has a return been received for an AP not matching any entry on list?바카라 사이트™ field to 바카라 사이트˜Y바카라 사이트™ and select the [OK] button
- where the AP record is updated and you are able to proceed with logging, enter today바카라 사이트™s date in the 바카라 사이트˜logged바카라 사이트™ and 바카라 사이트˜logged AP changed바카라 사이트™ boxes and note the advisory message number on the MS104 (CTSA). See COM132054 for more information on advisory messages
- where you cannot update the AP and proceed, enter today바카라 사이트™s date in the 바카라 사이트˜cannot log (AP change)바카라 사이트™ box on the MS104 (CTSA) and pass the case to a CT Co-ordinator or Technical Caseworker to change the AP record using function MAPD (Maintain AP Dates).
If the period covered by the return is in the list of APs on the LRTN screen, select it and then select the [OK] button.
Complete relevant fields
4. The 바카라 사이트˜date return received바카라 사이트™ field is pre-filled with today바카라 사이트™s date. Check it against the date of receipt stamped on the return and amend it if necessary.
5. If the AP start date is after 31 March 2015, the 바카라 사이트˜version바카라 사이트™ field defaults to 바카라 사이트˜3바카라 사이트™ and if the AP starts before that date, you should change it to 바카라 사이트˜2바카라 사이트™.
6. Add the 바카라 사이트˜company type바카라 사이트™ if it is on the return and there is no entry on the screen, or amend it if necessary.
바카라 사이트˜About this return바카라 사이트™ data to capture
7. The 바카라 사이트˜about this return바카라 사이트™ section of a return may have entries for the following items:
- repayment for this period
- claim or relief for an earlier period
- more than one return being made now
- return includes estimates
- company is part of a group that is not small
- notice of disclosable avoidance schemes
- transfer pricing compensating adjustment
- transfer pricing SME exemption.
If there are entries for any of these items, select 바카라 사이트˜Y바카라 사이트™ in the drop down menu for the appropriate field.
Do you wish to capture return details?
8. Leave the default setting of 바카라 사이트˜Y바카라 사이트™ and proceed with capture.
Where there is more than one return to be captured, always capture them in ascending AP order and record the self assessments at the end of capture.
Refer the case to a CT Co-ordinator or Technical Caseworker if necessary.
Capture return
9. If you have used LRTN and indicated that you want to capture the details, COTAX takes you to the capture screen.
10. Capture the details exactly as shown in the return. Do not alter an entry even if it is clearly wrong unless a box entry requires one of the following.
- A decimal number where a whole number has been entered on the return. Enter 바카라 사이트˜.00바카라 사이트™.
- A whole number where a decimal has been entered on the return. Round the decimal figure in the company바카라 사이트™s favour.
- A financial year entry.
11. If there is no entry in the 바카라 사이트˜self assessment of tax payable바카라 사이트™ box and only zero entries elsewhere, the return can be accepted as a nil return. However, if there are figures other than zero elsewhere on the return, refer it to a CT Co-ordinator or Technical Caseworker to consider whether more entries are needed.
Amend / confirm return details
12. If COTAX presents you with a list of entries for confirmation or amendment, check each entry against the relevant box on the return.
13. If there is a missing box that is mandatory or an entry that does not comply with the relevant validation rules, complete or amend it.
14. If an entry on the screen is different to the figure shown in the return, correct it.
Disclosable tax avoidance schemes
15. COTAX displays screen COT112H for you to enter details entered on the CT600J disclosable tax avoidance schemes if you selected 바카라 사이트˜Y바카라 사이트™ for that field in function LRTN. Enter the relevant details exactly as shown on the CT600J.
16. If COTAX does not display the screen, capture the rest of the return and pass the return to a CT Co-ordinator or Technical Caseworker to enter the tax avoidance scheme entries in function MAPS (Maintain AP Signals).
Return contains bank and / or nominee details for repayments
17. If there are entries in 바카라 사이트˜payments to a person other than the company바카라 사이트™ on the return, If it is, capture the details accurately.
18. If it is not complete:
- use the [Exit] button to abandon the function
- pass the return to a CT Co-ordinator or Technical Caseworker, asking how to proceed.
19. If there are correct and complete entries in the 바카라 사이트˜bank details바카라 사이트™ section, capture the details accurately.
If the account name on the return is more than 28 characters in length, enter the first 28 characters if that gives a recognisable account name, or a suitable abbreviation.
20. If the bank details are not completed properly:
- use the [Exit] button to abandon the function
- pass the return to a CT Co-ordinator or Technical Caseworker, asking how to proceed.
Record self assessment
21. Make the appropriate selection from the three choices available on the final screen.
Do you wish to record self assessment now?
Do not change 바카라 사이트˜Y바카라 사이트™ to 바카라 사이트˜N바카라 사이트™.
Where there were unresolved validation failures during capture, this defaults to 바카라 사이트˜N바카라 사이트™.
Whenever COTAX will allow it, change 바카라 사이트˜N바카라 사이트™ to 바카라 사이트˜Y바카라 사이트™.
If you do not record the self assessment where COTAX allows you to, using function RAMA later may mean a correction notice for a trivial amount has to be issued, which may lead to complaints.
Do you wish to issue an acknowledgement?
Do not ask COTAX to issue an acknowledgement as the CT620ACK form no longer exists. Companies can use their digital tax account to see whether their self assessment has been recorded.
Do you wish to issue a correction notice?
Issue a correction notice only where you have changed figures from the return and a Technical Caseworker has told you to do so.
22. If COTAX displays an 바카라 사이트˜overpayment warning바카라 사이트™ message, it indicates that COTAX has made a repayment or reallocation. Follow local management instructions.
Completing the MS104 (CTSA) folder
23. When you have captured the return, make the following entries on the front of the accounts folder:
- 바카라 사이트˜Captured바카라 사이트™ if you have captured the return without validation failures
- 바카라 사이트˜Validation failure바카라 사이트™ if COTAX displayed validation failures and you confirmed the entries as correct
- 바카라 사이트˜SA recorded at capture바카라 사이트™ if you recorded the self assessment at the end of capturing the return.
Final action
23. If there is a discrepancy between the self assessment figure captured using CRTN and the figure calculated by COTAX, the case is listed on SADL (Self Assessment Discrepancy List). A CT Co-ordinator or Technical Caseworker only considers issuing a correction if the case appears on that list.
