A clear explanation.
A supported correction.
Errors should be examined against the original records, the returns affected and when the issue was identified. The correction process depends on the facts and the rules that apply.
We establish the issue, quantify the proposed adjustment and explain the appropriate next step within scope. Where a voluntary disclosure is required, preparation and authorised submission are clearly agreed.

Specific questions.
Straightforward answers.
Can every error be adjusted in the next return?
No. The correct route depends on the type of error and applicable requirements. The facts need to be assessed before deciding how to correct it.
Does an error with no tax amount change need attention?
It should still be assessed. A nil tax impact should not be assumed to remove correction or disclosure requirements.
Will a voluntary disclosure automatically remove penalties?
No. Any penalties, relief conditions or other consequences need a separate assessment under the applicable rules.
