If the credit is subsequently allocated against a new charge it takes on one of the previous descriptions in this column of the table. The description is related to the origin of the credit. For example, if the origin of the credit is a balancing charge credit it is described as ‘From overpayment from YY/YY return …….. (date)’.

Notes:

1. A credit ceases to be an Open Item when

  • The total credit has been allocated against one or more charges, and
  • No part of the credit can be described as unallocated

2. The date shown in the description of the first two payment credits is the effective date of payment (SAM60055).
