3.

Using Function MAPD (Maintain AP Dates) ‘Manual Link’ screen

 

  • Review the superseded APs and superseding AP shown

4.

If only one of the superseded APs contains a tax charge that needs to be maintained

 

  • Link the superseded AP containing the tax charge to what you believe to be the superseding AP

5.

If more than one superseded AP contains a tax charge that needs to be maintained

 

  • Link the superseded AP containing a charge to the superseding AP with which it has the greatest overlap

 

And

 

  • Make a prominent note of the remaining superseded AP(s) containing tax charges which need to be dealt with

 

Note: Those APs which you were unable to link are still available for amendment, but because no linking has taken place, only a forward note will ensure they are considered at the close of any enquiry

Using Function MAPD (Maintain AP Dates) ‘Manual Link’ screen

 

  • Review the superseded and superseding APs shown

7.

Using the guidance above

 

  • Link each superseding AP to the superseded AP that most closely reflects the period of the superseding AP, until there are no further APs available to link

8.

If any of the unlinked superseded APs contain tax charges

 

  • Make a note of the APs concerned so that you can deal with the tax charges as appropriate
