When a return is captured, COTAX automatically highlights any errors in the data entered, giving the operator an opportunity to amend or confirm the entry.(This text has been withheld because of exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act 2000)

Note: When you have accepted and recorded the company’s calculation, COTAX will not recalculate those figures on a subsequent amendment to the assessment, even if you alter other relevant figures in the assessment. For example

• If you replace COTAX’s recalculated figure for MSCR with the figure from the return and issue the assessment

And

• Later amend the assessment to alter the profit figure

COTAX will not recalculate the MSCR figure to reflect the new profit figure. You must calculate the correct figure and enter it.

COTAX shows you that you have replaced its figure with your own.
