Overwriting an Existing Year

You can also overwrite any tax year that the client is currently set up for via year updating. All existing details for the tax year that you choose to update to are deleted and replaced by the details that the system carries forwards or backwards. If you choose to overwrite an existing tax year a pop-up window appears which asks you to confirm that you wish to overwrite the current data. Select Yes to overwrite the existing data or No to abandon the update.

Example

If Mr. Abrahams had the tax years 1997 and 1998 already established and 1998 was highlighted in the list, you could choose to update the tax year back to 5th April 1997. This overwrites any data that has already been entered for 1997 and replaces it with the information that the system automatically carries backwards.
