Tax Return Production
Faster Corporation Tax Returns
Improved Integration for faster Corporation Tax Returns
Quickstart your CT Return using your Account Production data to auto-populate period dates and import values to improve navigation, minimise potential errors, streamline your process and save you time.
The ‘quick look up’ and ‘easy reference’ features reduce the need to search files for appropriate dates or find screens to import data to start populating your CT return, thus combining return creation and importing of data into one process.
Never forget long periods of accounts requiring two CT returns again
By selecting Next Return the software will remember the remaining months on a long period that still require a CT return.
The benefit of Next Return is that it remembers if long periods of accounts have been used and defaults to creating the remaining period required for the next CT return.
This saves you time by automating the process and ensures accuracy of data.
SA800 Partnership Tax Return
New Data Entered Summary
A simplified way to review data entered on the SA800 Partnership Tax Return, which complements the new partnership business summary, providing an overall picture of the Partnership Tax Return.
Easily edit CT600 Corporation Tax period dates
Now you can simply access and edit dates on the opening screen without having to open the Return itself – saving you time and clicks!
Additional validation between A800 Partnership and SA100 Individual Tax Returns
Proactively prevents potential errors as users will be notified if the partnership information on the individual's Tax Return is not up to date with the Partnership Tax Return, ensuring you always have the latest information.
