e-Checklist - Client

Introduction

e-Checklists provide a quick and easy way for you to deliver the necessary information, allowing your accountant to complete your Self Assessment tax return.

 

Step 1

You will receive a notification from your accountant that your e-Checklist is ready to be completed. Once you have received this, log into OpenSpace in the normal way.

 

Step 2

Once you have logged in, click e-Checklist. This will display a list of checklists.

  

Each checklist will display a status:

Not Started – this indicates that none of the questions in the e-Checklist have been answered yet.

In Progress – this indicates that one or more questions have been answered.

Finalised – this indicates that the e-Checklist has been completed and sent back to the accountant.

 

Step 3

Click on the checklist for the tax year that you need to complete. This will open the e-Checklist.

 

Step 4

Complete the e-Checklist by completing the empty boxes with the relevant information; income, expenses and the relief and allowances sections.

Navigate through the sections by clicking in the left-hand menu, for example, Employment, or use the Next/Previous options.


Once you have answered a question, select Mark as answered. This allows you to track the progress of your e-Checklist. Once you have marked all questions within a section as complete, the status for the section will be updated.

You can also attach any supporting documentation which may help your accountant to complete your tax return; for example, a scanned in copy of your P60.

 

Step 5

Once you have answered all of the questions, click Finalise. This will notify your accountant that you have completed the e-Checklist.
