IHTM31192 - Raising assessments: adjustments to interest


Use the Adjustment box for interest ( IHTM31511) only.

Never amend the tax charge by this method as it will not match up on the SAGE ( IHTM31851) record.

There is a cash limit on the adjustment box; any case where that limit is exceeded will need to be referred to your manager for authorisation before the calculation can be issued.

The adjustments box is there for making minor adjustments to the interest. There is no need to raise an assessment and “adjust” it to nil if the amount of tax and interest is within deminimus limits; Cashiers will simply write off the balance on closure.
