Working papers show how each figure on a return was arrived at, tying it back to source documents and calculations, so it can be checked, reviewed, and defended later, whether that's by a manager, a new team member, or during an HMRC enquiry.
Generating a working paper
Open the client's completed personal tax information request and select Generate Working Paper.
Please note: the working paper function will only become available once a personal tax information request has been fully verified.
You'll see a message confirming that generation has started, and you'll receive an in-app notification and an email once it's ready.
Reviewing and verifying items
Results appear on the left of the screen, grouped by form (SA100, SA102, SA105, and so on).
Select any item to see its value, confidence score, the reasoning behind it, and a link to the source document, so you can check the figure and the calculation before relying on it.
For each item, select Mark verified to confirm it's correct, adding notes if needed, or Correct value to enter the right figure, the reason it was wrong, and any notes. Select Save to update the item.
