Purpose of the list

There are two versions of the Ceased Cases With O/S Balance List.

  • Function LOSB is the update version.
  • Function LOSE is the view only version.

The purpose of this work list is to show you cases that have either ceased or been struck off and have an outstanding collectible balance that cannot be dealt with automatically by COTAX.

How often should the list be reviewed?

Local management should ensure that the work list is reviewed on a monthly basis.

Who does what?

A CT Co-ordinator normally reviews and controls the list.

When are new entries added?

COTAX adds new entries to this work list daily.

Reasons for entry

COTAX enters a case on the Ceased Cases With O/S Balance List when there is an outstanding collectible balance and the company ceases or is struck off and COTAX cannot:

  • automatically remit the outstanding liability or
  • set the ‘refer for remission’ signal to ‘Y’.
