Annual Submission

The Annual Submission of adjustments and allowances is a year-end process under Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax. After submitting your quarterly updates, you can use this submission to make adjustments and claim allowances, such as capital allowances on business assets, to ensure that your taxable profit is accurate before completing your final declaration with HMRC.

Unlike a Business Source Adjustable Summary (BSAS), which applies adjustments to a specific business source after quarterly updates, the annual submission confirms your overall year-end position before the final declaration is submitted to HMRC.

Generate Annual Submission

In Zoho Books, you can generate an Annual Submission to record adjustments and allowances for all your businesses for the relevant tax year. Before generating an Annual Submission, you must first create an Annual Submission form. Here’s how:

Go to Filing & Compliance on the left sidebar and select Income Tax.
Click Create Additional Submission in the top right corner.
In the Create Additional Submission pop-up, fill in the following fields:
- Select the tax year in which you want to make adjustments in the Tax Year field.
- Select the applicable submission type in the Submission Type field. You can select Annual Submission (Self Employment) or Annual Submission (UK Property), depending on your business.
- Click Create.

The Annual Submission will now be created in the Draft status and listed under the End of Year section of the To Be Filed tab.

To generate an Annual Submission:

Click the newly created Annual Submission form listed in the End of Year section.
On the Annual Submission page, review the Adjustments, Allowances and Non Financials categories.
Enter the required adjustment or allowances amounts against the respective categories.
Once you have entered all the values, click Save and Generate.

In the confirmation pop-up that appears, click Finalise Update.

The changes made will now be saved in Zoho Books and the status will be changed to Finalised.
