COM132090 - Returns / notices: return handling: viewing an original online return

To view all of the content of a return filed online, including attachments, you must use the ‘View E filed CT Returns’ functionality.

You can get to this functionality

• From the icon ‘CT View Returns’ in the ‘companies’ folder in the ‘My Services’ tab in ‘My Workplace’

Or

• By using the [View E Return] button provided in Functions

• DASS (Display Assessment Details)

And

• DRTN (Display Return Data)

The [View E-Return] button is enabled when an original return is filed online, on COTAX. When you select the button the IR Portal is launched and you will be presented with the ‘Select Company’ screen. When you enter the 10 digit UTR and select ‘go’ you will be presented with the ‘Period of Return Overview Screen’. From here you can

• See a drop down list of accounting periods with returns received online
• See the type of return submitted, for example original or amended
• See the date the return was submitted
• Drill down by selecting on the appropriate hyperlinks to see full details of the CT600, supplementary pages and attachments submitted

You can view the information captured from any original return filed on line - but not an amended one - in Function DRTN.

To preserve the confidentiality of taxpayer information when using the ‘View E filed CT Returns’ functionality

• Any office can view an E filed CT600 return

But

• Only the owning office can view its attachments

For a list of functions to use in particular situations, see COM132021.
