Andica CT600

CT600 Andica - reporting a small loss

Didn't find your answer?

Can't find appropriate boxe(s) to file a small loss on the Andica CT software. All attempts result in boxes advising higher or lower than box 150. Anybody help

Sorry, I should have maybe explained a bit better

The small loss has been noted in BOX 780 - as per CT600 Version 3 instructions
All figures to validate are accommodated in Profit and Loss + Balance Sheet
But when I try to come out of page- a warning box tells me that this figure should be same as Box 155
which is the PROFIT box...
Should I just ignore and lodge the completed Return
I've emailed Andrica to ask why it is doing this

I don't use Andica, so your box numbers mean nothing.

But I can tell you how the numbers should flow through. It sounds as though you may have interrupted the flow somewhere.

You start with the accounting profit or loss before tax in your profit and loss account. If that is a loss I imagine you enter it as a minus. Then you may have adjustments to that figure - entertaining, depreciation, capital allowances etc. - to arrive at the tax adjusted profit or loss. In your case it sounds as though the tax adjusted figure is a small loss. That loss is probably then transferred to another page where you say what you want to do with it - carry it back, carry it forward etc.

Does that help?

Thanks John
My first go with Andica and my first go at having a loss situation which kind of caught me...
It seems it's just how the CT format is conveniently set out in HMRC logical fashion
Box 145 TOTAL TURNOVER FROM TRADE
Box 155 TRADING PROFITS
You would then imagine that the next box would be
Box xxx TRADING LOSSES
But no...
We have a run of not-so-ordinary boxes for figures that most SME's would not have to bother with
Then several pages later we have
Box 780 Losses of trades etc...
All my figures elsewhere reflect the true loss situation but when I reach last page, I am greeted with a 'warning' that my figures should be the same as Box 155 the PROFIT box
But my LOSS runs thro' fine to the last page...
Stumped...?
Yes...
I've done everything to book
What else can I do....but lodge...

Well - like I said put the loss in the profit box with a minus in front of it.

I too have been struggling in entering a trading loss. The software does not allow me to enter a minus sign in the profit box (nor anywhere else), nor to enter a trading loss or capital allowances in the appropriate boxes due to the same validation issues as above. I cannot even get a zero in the profit chargeable to Corporation Tax. I am emailing the suppliers right now.
