Control of stranded underpayments list
These duties must be carried out by the Officer responsible for
the office balance. To carry out the Officer duties required when
you receive the list of stranded underpayments, consider steps 10 -
16.
- If you receive a list stating ‘the review of taxpayers records has revealed that there are no relevant cases in your district’, put it in the stranded underpayment establishment file and take no further action
- Where there are relevant cases, you will receive lists headed
‘Stranded underpayments (year) list of cases for remission
without further review’
Or
‘Stranded underpayments (year) and cases listed under
category B are within the limit for remission by the district.
Remaining cases listed under category C require Enforcement Office
authorisation before remission’
- On receipt of these list(s)
- Cross through the existing headings on both lists and substitute ‘list of stranded underpayments for review [year]’
- Photocopy the lists
- Keep the originals of the lists in the Stranded Underpayments establishment file
- Give extracts of the photocopies to the staff who will be reviewing the cases
- Arrange for all lists to be reviewed using the instructions in ‘Taxpayer Underpayments’ and the Action Guides on ‘Stranded Underpayments’ that can both be found in this section of the manual
- Note each stage of action against the entry on the original list until all the cases have been cleared
