Incorrect Date

Where an incorrect date of receipt was recorded you must amend the date held on the EBS record. This must be done using Function AMEND / DELETE EOY RETURNS RECEIPT.

Incorrect year or return type

Where the year or type of return or return part was recorded incorrectly you must delete the return receipt details on the EBS record. This is done using Function AMEND / DELETE EOY RETURNS RECEIPT. You must then record receipt of the correct return type for the correct year using Function RECORD RETURN RECEIPT.

Incorrect employer reference

Date of receipt

In all cases where any change to the details previously recorded is made the original date of receipt must be used when correcting the employer record.
