Problem
When producing the Tax Return Cover letter from AutoMail, the liability is shown correctly, but there is no mention of the payments on account at all when payments on account are due.
Resolution
To Produce an AutoMail Template to show payments on account:
- Check a Final Tax Computation has been run within IRIS Personal Tax
- Check the Correct Tag has been inserted to show payments on account
A Final Tax Computation from IRIS Personal Tax Module needs to be run to calculate these figures across to AutoMail. The payments on account will then be reflected on the computation and any subsequently generated AutoMail letters.
Check a final tax computation has been run for Personal Tax
- Open Iris Main Menu and Click on Personal Tax.
- Click on Magnifying glass which will display the Client Browser and select your client. e.g (A001)
- Go to Reports | Tax Computation and tick Final and make sure Payments on Accounts is ticked and the click OK
- You can then tick to screen or print the Personal Tax Form and then click on OK
The Personal Tax figures have been calculated and now accessible in AutoMail
