ROS - Return Preparation Facility (RPF)
Tax and Duty Manual Part 38-06-01B Return Preparation Facility (RPF) has been updated:
- in paragraph 3 to reference that the VAT 3 has been added to the RPF, and
- in Appendix 1 to confirm the correct file extension for the Form 46G - Company.
The Return Preparation Facility (RPF) can be accessed through a link on the ROS Login screen. Forms prepared and saved using the RPF must be uploaded using ROS Online to Sign and Submit the return (and thereby meet the filing obligation).
As newer versions of forms are made available in the RPF, they will not be available in the ROS Offline application. Over time, the RPF will be replacing the ROS Offline application for the majority of forms, however, the ROS Offline will still be used for some forms.
Appendix 1 contains information on the specified Form types available in the RPF. Work is ongoing to develop additional forms in RPF, in line with the regular annual or periodic update of such forms.
