You may receive substitute returns with a different address
shown on the front of the return than that which was pre-printed on
the original HMRC issued form. Unless the taxpayer or agent draws
your attention to the address change, either in a covering letter
or by ticking the ‘Yes’ box at TR 1 box 2 (SA100) or
box 1.2 (SA200), you will not recognise at this stage that the
address needs updating on the SA record and any resulting output
from the computer will go to an incorrect address.
On the Self Employment supplementary pages of the return,
where the name and / or address of the business has changed, the
taxpayer ticks box 5 on the Self-employment (full) page SEF 1 or
box 3 on the Self-employment (short) page SES 1.
It is not possible to see from the return alone whether the
description of the business has changed. If you have to make any
changes to details identified from the return and there is a
business change, check the description of the business.
It is important that the computer records are updated with
any changes inrespect of name, address and postcode as soon as
possible. This should be done as soon as possible after
the return has been logged in the office. It should not be left
until the information is captured. However, where an address has
not been amended at the logging stage but an amendment is noted in
Local Data Capture (LDC) at TR1 box 2 (SA100) or box 1.2 (SA200),
the computer record should be updated following capture of the
return.
The ‘Abroad’ signal
Where you dealing with a change of address in LDC and the
‘Abroad’ signal is set on the taxpayer’s SA
record, you should not amend the address during capture. The
address should be amended after capture using TBS function AMEND
TAXPAYER ADDRESS.
When creating or updating a foreign address using TBS
function AMEND TAXPAYER ADDRESS, you must only enter the name of
the foreign country in the ‘Foreign Country’ field and
not any other details (for example, zip code).
In all cases where an address is amended from one which is
abroad to one which is in the UK, the ‘Abroad’ signal
should be reviewed and updated as necessary
