6. Use function VIEW PARTNERS FOR PARTNERSHIP to obtain the name, Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) and responsible office of each partner

7. Notify the office responsible for each partner’s SA record of the repaired entries from the partnership return in order that

• Corresponding repairs can be made to the individual partner’s returns

• A Revision Notice is included in the Tax Calculation issued to each partner which shows the repairs made as a consequence of repairing the partnership return. This should be done by the office responsible for the individual partner’s SA record

Note:

If the partnership and partners’ returns have been received together and have been kept together, make sure only one revision notice is issued to each partner covering both repairs made to their personal return (if any), and the consequential amendments flowing from the repairs to the partnership return

If a partner’s return has not been received when the partnership return is repaired retain the notification in the annual run of returns until the return is eventually received, when it can be checked and any repairs made. Record the details in SA Notes for the partner

If the partner’s return has already been captured, function AMEND RETURN should be used to make the revisions arising from the repair of the partnership return
