Africa: New and Changed Reports

The ITW8 Tax Certificate layout has been updated as per the latest requirements from BURS. 

 

It is a requirement to use the new layout for the 2018/2019 tax year end.

 

The pre-printed stationery did not change but the information printing on the certificate has been updated to align to the plain paper certificate.

 

The existing ITW8 report on the Botswana Reports Menu has been updated to the new layout.

 

Before running the report, check and confirm that the report setup is correct.

 

After confirming the Report Selections, you can continue to run the report. When running the report, additional setup information is required and must be completed to create the certificates with the correct data.
