completing Form 11 query

73trix

Why do I keep getting "invalid format" when I try to key in amounts of money? Eg 1000.15. I have tried leaving out the last digit and rounding up and leaving out the last 2 digits with no decimel and also putting a coma between the 1 and the 0 for 1,000.

to add to my confusion, I have entered a 4 digit sum with decimel in one box and it#s fine and yet another figure with identical format is "invalid format".WTF! I'm stuck now as can't progress with form until I correct it and "enter whole number" !!

Don't enter cents. Just whole euro.

In the box where you're having problem, make sure you delete ALL of the characters first...

Otherwise, just open a new form and complete from scratch, entering only whole euro...

Most of the fields (as in all except 2 or 3) require a whole number only. If it requires decimals, it will tell you.

Remember to round down for income and round up for expenses.

I tried eliminating the decimal and doesn't work. OTOH it accepts a number with decimal on same page! Do you mean redoing the whole thing or just that page? It doesn't seem to be allowing me do anything til I enter the whole number, which I have tried! decimal only entered as per amounts on P60.

Only use whole figures for anywhere on the form. Forget cent...revenue won't hunt you down for the sake of a few cent...

I'd start off from scratch with a new form, to be honest...pain in the ar$e..

ok so, a new day and tday it worked! First prob solved and now another,

I'm a reluctant accidental landlord and this paperwork is still beyond me, despite this being my 3rd year and thinking I had it nailed but i still struggle, so be patient.:o I have tried to find answers online and spent 30mins on hold to ros support and hung up out of pure frustration as the 2nd time today, first time my battery died at 14mins. :mad:

I'm trying to wrap this all up. At the end almost, the self assessment, I've come up against this

p(j)(i) Balance of Tax Payable for this period €
This field must equal the Amount of tax payable/overpaid for this period plus surcharges minus the tax paid directly to the Collector General for this period/tax deferred.

I can't understand or find an answer. Please help. I thought the final amount was what I'm deemed to owe for 2016 less the preliminary tax for the year I already paid last year but this doesn't work. I shouldn;t have any surcharges, was on time last year and while at the 11th hour this time, I do have til midnight Nov16th - phew! I have even made up numbers and nothing is accepted so this makes me think that there is an amount the computer expects me to insert. Thanks for your time.

Are you using the ROS offline app?

If so, you should insert zero in box g if you've paid your LPT for the year and the amount you've paid in preliminary tax in box h.

Then tick Yes to "I confirm agreement with the figures at (a) to (c)(ii) inclusive as computed above in column A."

Then click on "Transfer values to self-assessment column".

The app will insert the balance of tax due.

It's the ROS offline app. You can download it from here:

"(h)(ii) Amount of tax deferred under Section 657(6A) TCA 1997"

Have you deferred tax under Section 657(6A) TCA 1997?

Didn't think so.

Stick it in (h)..."Amount of tax paid directly to the Collector General for this period".....then follow the instructions above..

Ok , can't make head nor tail of app. Can't the document I'm supposed to use etc.

As stands, I have say 3000 tax payable, paid say 1000 preliminary tax and ths leave balance of 2000. when I put this sum in, it refuses to accept it and says as I qouted above. Stuck!

S0....it's all come together. No idea how, but maybe a little gremlin was watching all my failed attempts cos I got a new instruction that mde sense and when I followed that....bazooka! Thanks for the replies.

Hi

In previous years my calculated liability was deducted from my following year's tax credit so no payment required on filing

This year had to pay by bank transfer (or cc) but no option to use tax credits, is that expected behaviour?

Your following year's tax credit has nothing to do with it. Your liability for the year is calculated....then the tax credits for that year are deducted from that. (That's how tax credits differ from the old "tax free allowance"). The system will only deduct enough tax credits to reduce the Income Tax liability to NIL.

This year, your current year tax credits were obviously not high enough to reduce the liability to NIL.
