COM122074 - Repayments / reallocations: non automatic reallocations: surrender outside S102 FA 1989 (Action Guide)

To reallocate a repayment to another company when S102 FA 1989 does not apply, consider steps 1 - 10 below.


1.

Use Function MAPS (Maintain AP Signals) for the surrendering company and select ‘Reallocations & Repayments’ from the drop down menu for the Inhibitions field against the AP for which the overpayment (Word 35KB) will arise

2.

Create the overpayment on the surrendering company

3.

Use Function VPPD (View Payment and Posting Details) on the surrendering company to confirm the amount of the overpayment available for reallocation

4.

Use Function RINT (Request Repayment Interest Calculation) to calculate the repayment interest (Word 80KB) (RPI) due on the amount you are going to set off, and make a note of the total

5.

Use Function VPPD on the recipient company to check the amount of the unpaid liability

6.

Use Function REOD (Direct Reallocation Out Of COTAX) and choose the option ‘Reallocate a specific amount’ to put the overpayment into OAS (Word 28KB) 

 

Note: Under no circumstances should Inspectors use the `Make a section 102 surrender' option in Function REWD (Direct Reallocation Within COTAX) to handle these cases. Only use that facility for genuine Section 102 surrenders

7.

Make the reallocation

 

Notes:

 

Do not reallocate more than the amount of the unpaid liability

 

The computer is not able to calculate RPI when you use this function, as it cannot know when the effective date of the reallocation will be

8.

Confirm the reallocation and make a note of the OAS reference number

9.

Use Function MAPS and select ‘None’ from the drop down menu for the Inhibitions field

10.

On the same day use the daily Envopak service to send a fully completed form CT251 to the Banking Operations Office. Make sure you

 

  • Enter the full UTR of the recipient company

 

  • Enter the amount of RPI due from (4) above

 

And if the combined total of tax and RPI exceeds the liability on the AP of the recipient company

 

  • Tell the Banking Operations Office to repay any balance of the overpayment to the surrendering company
