Initial action

1. Use Function TRCT (Trace Taxpayer) to make sure the case has not already been set up. If it is already set up

Note: It may take 2 working days for a company registering at Companies House to be automatically set up on COTAX. You must therefore be certain that a case has not been set up automatically before you set it up yourself.
