Personal Tax- Where is overlap profit/relief entered for a partnership?

Problem
IRIS Personal Tax- The client became a partner in a business several years ago; we have been given a figure of overlap relief, where can this be entered?
Resolution
Users are required to enter overlap relief as follows if the trade has ceased – if not ceased then you cannot claim the relief:
1. Log into IRIS Personal Tax and select the client.
2. Click Trade Profession or Vocation then click Sole Trade or Partnership.
3. The right side of the screen is split into two with a list of account dates displayed in the bottom half of the screen, double click on the account date for the current year.
4. Enter the number of days and the amount of overlap profit within the section title enter amounts for basis period then click OK to save.
5. If the relief is missing from the calculations – check and make sure last period is the ceased date, e.g. edit the period so its the ceased date. Then run the Trade Comp next.
For information on how to enter overlap relief for a self employed client please see KB Sole trade Overlap relief will be deducted automatically if there has been a relevant change of account date there is a cessation or the partner leaves the business.
