SAM130040 - Statements: statement content and layout: the simple statement

The Simple Statement was introduced in August 2006.

In the period April 1997 to June 2006 all statements were issued in Open Item format. This type of statement is still issued to taxpayers in a small number of cases, either where requested by the taxpayer or where the accounting position is very complex. It is also the style still used to display statement information in function VIEW STATEMENT. For more information about the 바카라 사이트˜Open Item바카라 사이트™ taxpayer statement see subject 바카라 사이트˜The Open Item Taxpayer Statement바카라 사이트™ (SAM130020).

Prior to that in the period November 1996 to March 1997, a Brought Forward statement layout was used. For more information about the Brought Forward statement see subject 바카라 사이트˜The Brought Forward Taxpayer Statement바카라 사이트™ (SAM130010).

The Simple Statement makes provision for 5 distinct areas of information. These are

  • Statement header area, containing Taxpayer / agent/ capacity name and address, the taxpayer reference, statement issue number, statement date, and the taxpayer바카라 사이트™s processing office, along with contact telephone number(s)
