  1. It is not possible to change the status of a property from FHL to regular rental and vice versa, so you have to delete the property record and start again if you want to change over. It would be good to be able to simply switch the property type.

  2. When trying to share the rental income and expenses in CCH with clients, it only has the option to link another client who is a spouse. It would be helpful to be able to link clients who are not spouses - e.g. siblings.

  3. It would be extremely useful to clients to show the property losses brought forward and carried forward within the schedules to the tax return in the property income section.

  4. It would be useful to have a data field in the main client record for the CGT reporting reference in the same location as the UTR on a client record. It would then also be useful for this reference to be able to be pulled through the the CGT screen.

    At the minute we are having to save this in the DMS so we have access to it where we are engaged to do CGT reporting for a client but it would be useful to have this in a field which is easy for us to access as and when…

  5. It would be useful to have a data field in the main client record near the UTR field for the Trust URN for non taxable Trusts. At present we are saving documents with this info on into the permanent assignment but it should really have a field of it's own to make it easily accessible to us where we are engaged with clients to update TRS for non-taxable trusts.

  6. If you enter foreign employment income which is not taxable in the UK, this shows on the tax computation as 'allowable expenses'. This is a misleading narrative which should be changed.

  7. The description for box 44 in the land and property data entry screen is "Residential finance costs not included", however, even if the entirety of the finance costs incurred are included and utilised during the current year, they are still included in this box. The total of the finance costs are still included in this box if they are not utilised. Either the description of the box needs to be updated, or there need to be two separate boxes to show finance costs included and finance costs not included.

  9. It would be better where the SA302 shows a tax refund for that figure to be in brackets to distinguish it from tax underpaid and to match the format of the figure for total tax due at the end of the document

  10. It would be helpful if the three new boxes 6.1 in the SA800 relating to the export of goods and services could be opened fully so that all three boxes can be unticked rather than defaulting to neither as this means they are not exporting.
    The reporting of exporting goods and services is optional as per the SA850 guide and therefore there will be cases we do not wish to report this on. (most cases probably)

  12. Although CCH PT will calculate the AA taper via the pensions tax charge entry, if an entry is made the Ai pages are generated with nothing on them. Often we wish to just track the AA and there is no charge to report.
    Can a fully functional AA calculator be introduced? We used Digita before CCH and they had a great tool that would work out the AA/taper/charges, etc.
    Also assisted with planning without having to keep separate records.

  13. It would be useful to be able to report from the Online Filing section of CCH Personal tax. We would be looking to report examples such as IRMarks, whether the return is an original, amendment 1, amendment 2 etc.

  14. The review tool is great for keeping review points within the system and reducing time spent, it would however be good to see the following:

    -Audit of who has added notes on the PDF report
    -A place to add general notes not necessarily associated to a source of income
    -HICBC - this doesn't seem to be picked up as missing when in the prior year?

    This would enhance the product a great deal, Thanks

  15. Partnerships - Foreign Tax on Foreign Dividends - the income pulls onto the individual partners returns but the FTC does not, it then has to be added manually to the individuals return. This really should be pulling through

  16. It is a bit long winded to end up with a copy of the DTA or the submission report in DM when using personal tax. There is the option when either are open to create a PDF, open in word, print etc and it would be great if there was another option to file in the document centre. At the moment you have to go through several steps to get a copy into DM which seems not necessary as you are in CCH when you open it.

  17. Increase the available space in the fields to enter information for items 5 and 6 on 2nd page of the form. We can currently only include 60 characters in each field, which is not enough and there is plenty of room on the form itself for more.

  18. I understand that it is not possible for you to restrict foreign tax according to the Double Taxation Treaties. However, a warning to remind us to check if a restriction is necessary would be helpful.

  19. It would be really helpful if we could keep actual expense details on self employments or property for both us and our clients to compare to the TAPAs claim, especially as it is quite common fo clients to remember additional expenses after sending their initial information to us.

    Under review  ·  Dean Shepherd responded

    Hi Clare

    If we built in some business rules you could probably do that in Accounts Production but that seems a bit overkill for what is likely to be a very simple case.

    Are you likely to be providing this type of client with a P&L? Or is it just a matter of putting figures into the tax return only?

    Kind regards,

    Dean

  20. It would be massively useful to all practices to have a simple report/document that compares the Tax Return data to the last year so you can have an at-a-glance comparative. This will allow an effective review once the Return is completed, as well as helping to complete the preparation.

    We currently keep track of all of the above on a paper template and I had hoped to use Return Review as a digital alternative, however I do not believe it is as useful as we hoped.

    Return Review does what we need in part, but much of what is produced…
