Interaction with Accounts Production

• The depreciation in Business Tax is higher than the amount shown in Accounts Production.

Usually this problem occurs where a depreciation account in the Accounts package has been used for a non depreciation amount.

Any balances on the following ranges of accounts in Accounts Production are added back:

IRIS Accounts             ELTD Accounts

118 to 125                   65 to 66

178 to 185                   70 to 71

235 to 242                   101 to 102

263 to 270                   172 to 173

315 to 324                   177 to 178

                               207 to 208

                               212 to 213

                               241 to 242

                               246 to 247

                               297 to 298

                               302 to 303

                               331 to 332

                               336 to 337

                               365 to 366

                               370 to 371

                               389 to 390

                               394 to 395

If you do not want one of these accounts to be added back as depreciation either:

• • Move the amount in Accounts Production to a 'non depreciation' account, or

  • Use the Business Tax accounts option to amend the accounts included in depreciation

• When I select the client I am told that the "Client you have chosen has not been registered for Accounts Production. Therefore Business Tax is unable to work on this client". Why is this happening?

There are two reasons why this message may occur:

The business type is Other. Business Tax is not able to perform calculations for businesses of type Other. Currently Other should only be used in Accounts Production for pension clients.

The client status has not been registered properly by Accounts Production.

To rectify this:

1. 1. Close Business Tax and open Accounts Production.

   2. Select the business. If you are asked if you want to make the business a client reply Yes, but continue with the following steps.

   3. Select Client followed by Status.

   4. You will be asked if the business is currently a client, reply NO.

   5. Click Client status again, this time reply Yes when you are asked if the business is a client.

   6. Now close Accounts Production and try to select the client in Business Tax again. If you still get the message please call customer support.

IR35  

• The company is a personal services company and has contracts which are treated as relevant engagements under the new rules. Does Business Tax cater for IR35?  (Click again to close)

Business Tax does not calculate the deemed Schedule E payment. However, as the deemed payment is allowable for corporation tax purposes this can be entered in Business Tax using the allowable expense posting type. Remember that the deemed payment is only allowable as a deduction in the period of account in which the notional salary payment is made.

Mappings

• I would like to make mapping changes. How do I do this?

If you need to make changes only at client level select Edit | Business Tax Accounts, select the category and click Edit. You can now add or delete account codes within the selected category.

For chart level changes, follow the same procedure but access this screen via Setup | Business Tax Accounts. (You will need to be logged in as a Master User to make chart level changes).

These changes will only affect the computation.
