COM20141 - Assessing: CT pay and file assessments: making assessments and penalties on same day (Action Guide)


To prevent COTAX issuing a repayment and a payment application when you make or amend an assessment and a penalty determination for the same period on the same day, consider steps 1 - 4 below.

1.

Before making or amending the assessment

 

  • Use Function MRSC (Maintain Rept / Realloc Signals (Co)) to set the Inhibit Reallocations and Repayments signal against all APs

2.

Use Function PASR (Prepare Assessment Based On Return), PAST (Prepare Full Assessment) or PEST (Prepare Estimated Assessment) as appropriate to make or amend the assessment

3.

Choose the automatic penalty issue option if available, or use Function PPEN (Prepare Penalty Determination) to make or amend the penalty determination

4.

Use Function MRSC again to unset the Inhibit Reallocations and Repayments signal, releasing the automatic processes
