Making the assessment where Function RECB has not been used to record a carry back of ACT

Step 1 - 3

Making the assessment after Function RECB has been used to record a carry back of ACT

Steps 4 - 6

Making the assessment where Function RECB has not been used to record a carry back of ACT

1.

If an assessment has not been made but the return included the ACT carry-back

 

  • Use Function PASR (Prepare Assessment Based On Return) to give effect for the ACT carry-back

2.

If an assessment has been made already or no assessment has been made but the return does not contain the ACT carry-back

 

  • Use Function PAST (Prepare Full Assessment) to give effect for the ACT carry-back

3.

In Functions PASR and PAST

 

  • Enter ACT carry-backs as decimals. For example enter an ACT set-off of £2350 as 2350.00

 

  • Enter the end date of each AP from which an amount is carried back in the format 99/99/99

 

  • Do not enter more than one carry-back of the same type (ACT or Loss) from the same AP against a single AP

 

  • Enter ACT for earlier APs before later ones

 

For example if you are relieving against AP ended 31/12/94 ACT carried back from APs ended 31/12/95 £500, 31/12/96 £400, 31/12/97 £300 enter them as

 

    • 31/12/95 £500.00

 

    • 31/12/96 £400.00

 

    • 31/12/97 £300.00
