The possible removal of Gross Payment Status as part of the annual TTQT, is actioned electronically if certain criteria are not met. This could be applied at any date since preparation of the SIP and prior to any review visit taking place. It is therefore essential that payment status is checked the day before a review visit takes place to enable you to check any records considering the appropriate tax treatment.
