Risk Assessment |
· identify any sales, services, licence fees, management charges and interest bearing transactions |
· you will need to plan for what resources you have available and at what cost to capture the information. |
Once the risk assessment has been completed you should choose how much information you need to include in your final manual. Generally the higher the risk the inter company transactions the more detailed documentation will be required. |
Whatever the risk it is necessary to have some form of documentation for the HMRC should they request the information. A penalty will be charged for not having any form of documentation. Additional penalties will be charged for negligent or deliberate omissions or mistakes. |
