Simple statements

The transaction descriptions used on taxpayer statements to describe various miscellaneous items are as follows

Miscellaneous Description on taxpayer statement
Accruing interest Interest - this is a single summarised amount and is the total of any late payment interest and accruing interest that has arisen since the last issued statement
Formal standover Various descriptions apply see Note 1 below
Informal standover Various descriptions apply see Note 1 below
Adjustment to balancing charge credit Adjustment to overpayment from yy/yy return. Note: If the adjustment is as a result of an enquiry amendment, the description is ‘Adjustment to overpayment from yy/yy return following enquiry’

Note 1: When a formal or informal standover is applied to a charge, the description includes part of the originating charge description to help the taxpayer identify which charge is being stood over. Formal standovers are identified by the words ‘suspended on appeal’. Informal standovers do not include the words ‘on appeal’.

For example, if the origin of the charge is a Revenue Assessment and it is being formally stoodover, it is described as ‘Enquiry amendment for yy/yy suspended on appeal’. If the origin of the charge is a balancing charge and it is being informally stoodover, it is described as ‘Balancing payment for yy/yy - amount suspended’.
