SAM120091 - Returns: return issue: requesting automatic issue of returns after ITAR (Action Guide)
The automatic process to select cases for the issue of a CY-1 return on 6 April in any year is known as ITAR (Income Tax Annual Return selection). The selection process normally takes place in mid / late February and identifies that a return for the tax year which will end on the following 5 April is to be included in the bulk issue.
