Interactive Charity and Academy Reports
The report output for Charity and Academy Accounts has been completely rewritten to significantly improve the speed and stability when generating final accounts and associated reports. During our quality assurance process, final accounts reports were on average 78% quicker to produced when compared to the previous report output. The new reports also allow future report updates to deployed more efficiently.

Where a ‘next year’ tax return has been added in the previous year’s release, the return will now be identified and flagged as potentially containing ‘estimated’ figures. These returns will need to be finalised before they can be progressed so that any estimated figures can be reviewed as appropriate.
Due to continuing issues with the timing of its availability and quality of the HMRC Foreign Tax Credit Relief (FTCR) documentation, this year we made the decision to write a new and improved (FTCR) calculation. The new feature will be available in an up-coming release, but in the meantime we have temporarily disabled the automatic calculation in box 2 on the SA106 Foreign supplement. This short return to manual entry will avoid any issues caused by the HMRC documentation. We apologise for any inconvenience this temporary change may cause, but we feel this was the right decision as the current solution was increasingly falling short of our high standards of compliance.
Legislative Updates
Corporation Tax has been updated to cater for the new Capital Loss Restriction. The Finance Bill 2019/20 will restrict companies’ use of carried-forward capital losses to 50% of capital gains from 1st April 2020. The provisions will include an allowance that permits companies unrestricted use of up to £5m capital or income losses each year.
