How do I move the database folder to a new PC?

Disable the protection from the Right Hand side menu (Untick the box that says enable protection).

Right click on any of the note headings in bold

Go down to Notes > Accounting Policies > Collapse Accounting Policies

From here you can single left click on all the headings you wish to collapse

Click Collapse to hide all the notes you do not require for the respective client you are working on.

Please note if you click on ‘Show all data’ when editing your accounts, it will expand all of these notes back out. We recommend leaving the collapsing of the notes till the very end of finalising your accounts.

Is there a way to hide accounting policies and notes?

In order to get the Super deduction on a corporation tax return you’ll need to go into the Capital Allowance calculator. You can access this by clicking on the Capital Allowances button in the top left-hand corner of the screen.

From here edit the Main Pool, and add a new asset. Tick the Asset addition tick box and then enter a relevant date that coincides with the Super deduction date requirements. Then enter your addition value.

Then from the Eligible for FYA drop down menu, select a relevant item. The software will then look at the Date of addition and the Eligible for FYA drop down field and if it coincides with HMRC’s guidelines you’ll see the percentage change from 100% to 130%.

Please also bear in mind, not all items in that drop down are eligible for the Super deduction.

How can I claim the 130% Super deduction on a corporation tax return?
