Updates

Alphatax UK Autumn 2011 Edition Update (12.1.001 Lib 83.1)

We recommend that this patch is downloaded prior to assembling the e-filing submission.

We have noticed that some versions of Internet Explorer 6 and 7 hide subtotal underlining on the tax computation. As HMRC uses Internet Explorer 6, it would be beneficial to use this download to aid review of the tax computation. HMRC are supporting us with this issue.
