Nomi Bookkeeping is linked with Final Accounts/Payroll/CIS/Personal Tax Return. The linking is automatic however you may follow the below steps under various modules:
Bookkeeping Integration with Final Accounts
Now I will show you how you can save your admin time with the help of integration.
As I mentioned earlier, all the modules are well integrated and data flows from one module to another. As you can see the Turnover i.e. Sales figure is 68,796.93 for Bookkeeping for the Accounting Period 2023-2024 the same data is updated on the Final accounts as well. Even if you post an Invoice Journal or any other transaction in bookkeeping, on a Real-time basis this data will be updated into the Final Accounts Module.
Final Accounts Dashboard
To check this, we click on Final Accounts on the left-hand side, and this redirects us to the Final Accounts Dashboard. Here we must click again on the left panel on Full Accounts. On this screen, we can see the Turnover figure is the same as what is showing under the Bookkeeping Module.
As we can observe, the Turnover Figure is the same as in the Bookkeeping. Another good feature is that it automatically rounds off the figures if required.
If you raise an Invoice which then has an impact on the Turnover will also be reflected in Final Accounts. This frees you from the hassle of checking the Reports such as Trial Balance, Profit and Loss, and Balance Sheet and matching the data again and again in Final Accounts. This improves productivity and reduces errors, time, and effort in preparing the Final Accounts.
Bookkeeping Integration with Payroll
The payroll Module is integrated with the Bookkeeping Module. This allows you to get all the information on Employee Salary Expenses directly into the Bookkeeping Module, no manual Journal posting is required. In case you are doing bookkeeping in some other software then also you can extract the Payroll Journal and import the same.
As and when you Run Payroll in the payroll module the Journal is posted. You can check this by clicking on the Journals tab available on the Payroll Dashboard.
The Nominal Ledger report under the Bookkeeping shows the posting of all the payroll entries. Right now, we are looking at Employee Salary Expense:
Here we can see transaction number 944 for Employee Salary Expense which has the same amount in the Payroll and Bookkeeping modules.
How to integrate Directors from Payroll to Bookkeeping
To post the journal entries in the correct nominal account, we suggest linking the directors and shareholders in Payroll with Directors and Shareholders in the Bookkeeping module.
For this, Click โEdit Companyโ from the Payroll Dashboard screen, click Payroll Details, and Click the โBookkeeping Linksโ option.
From this option, you will be able to link directors correctly and Nomi will post the Journals in BK from Payroll in the correct nominal accounts.
Bookkeeping to CIS Integration
The next integration is between Bookkeeping and CIS. If you raise any Subcontractor Invoices in Bookkeeping, it will show on CIS and the Invoices will be ready to be filed for the CIS300 Monthly submission.
Raise a New Subcontractor Bill
Now we will create a Subcontractor Bill and the same will be listed under the CIS record of this company.
Point your mouse on New+ and then click on Subcontractor Bill. This will redirect you to the below screen. Before this, you need to make sure that the Suppliers are being marked as registered for CIS. This you can update under View>>Supplier list>>Edit>>Registered for CIS.
Here you have to select the Supplier who is registered for CIS and select the nominal 5103- Labour Cost of Sale. After this, you can update the rest of the data and see that there is a CIS deduction based on the verified CIS Deduction rate. This Invoice is reflected in CIS and then you may proceed further with the filing of the CIS 300 Monthly return.
If you are looking to add a subcontractor and verify them with HMRC then you may do so from the CIS Module as well.
Bookkeeping to Self-Assessment
Under Bookkeeping, you can raise the Dividend Vouchers for the Directors of that company and then whenever you are filing the SA100, you can link the dividend distributed to the directors from BK to SA.
You will have to first Issue the Dividends and after this navigate to the Directorโs SA100 record.
On the SA100 you can click on Dividends available on the left panel under the Income section.
This takes you to the dividend screen where you can click on Link Dividends and a pop-up will appear.
On the pop-up below, it will show the name of the director to whom the dividend has been issued. You have to just click on the link and all the information related to dividends is fetched into Nomi SA100 from the Bookkeeping Module.
As soon as you link the dividend then it gives you a message and the records are also linked with the Bookkeeping Module.
Whenever you add a Partnership record, you will have to allocate the profit-sharing ratio through the Bookkeeping/Final Accounts>>Settings>>Partners. In the top right corner, click on the edit label to access two options: Profit/Loss Ratio(s) and Add Partners.
Click on Profit/Loss to redirect to the Partners – Profit/(loss) Ratios screen, where you then click on New Ratios(s). A Profit/(loss) Ratio Adjustment pop-up will appear, prompting you to enter the New Effective start date, which is the partnership start date, and then enter the Profit/Loss Ratios. Click on save to complete the process. Alternatively, you can also click on โChange Partnership Ratioโ by navigating to Partnership Tax return>>Review & File>>Partnerโs Shares>>Edit (top right corner)>>Change Partnership Ratio.

Post Value Adjustment (PVA) in VAT Submissions
Post Value Adjustment (PVA) in the context of VAT (Value Added Tax) submission in the UK refers to adjustments made to the value of imported goods after the initial declaration to HMRC. This adjustment can affect the amount of VAT due on the import.
Key Points about Post Value Adjustment (PVA)
Example of PVA
Letโs consider an example to illustrate PVA:
In this case, the importer must make a PVA to account for the additional ยฃ500 in value, resulting in an extra ยฃ100 of VAT due.
Importance of PVA
Post Value Adjustment (PVA) is an essential process for ensuring that the correct amount of VAT is paid on imported goods. By adjusting the value of goods after the initial declaration, businesses can accurately report their VAT liabilities and maintain compliance with HMRC regulations. Businesses must monitor their import values closely and make timely adjustments to avoid any potential issues with VAT submissions. Consulting with a tax professional can provide additional guidance and ensure accurate reporting.
In Nomi, if your client is on a Standard Rate VAT then you may apply PVA adjustments to the VAT return straight away. For this, you have to just click on PVA and adjust the values in Box 1 and Box 4 of the VAT return.
If the client has a Flat Rate VAT scheme in place, then you can adjust in the Box number 1 and 7 of the Return and record the PVA transaction.
To Send the draft for VAT Approval you will have to lock the return and then click on 3 dots on the main screen from there you can click on the email option to send the draft approval email to the customer.

After locking the VAT period you can click on 3 dots and there you get two options VAT Return and VAT Back Up report. As you click on these options it will show you the reports in pop-ups and you can export them respectively.


To check the VAT submission status, you can navigate to Bookkeeping>>VAT Returns>>Click on three dots>>Submission log. A pop-up will appear and it will show the current VAT submission status along with previous ones in case you have made multiple submission attempts.

Once this has been done, click Save and this willย create a link within the email that willย take the clientย to GoCardless for payment (if a mandate has not been set up with the specificย client,ย then one will have to be createdย in order forย them to be able to make the payment).

The GoCardless payment link will be specific to Invoice Link emails. Go to Sales,ย click on the three dots on the right-hand side of the particular invoiceย and thenย select Invoice Link. It will then show theย Invoice Link Email created within the Template section of Settings and will provide the link to GoCardless for the client to click on.
If a mandate has not been set up for the client in question,ย the client can use the link within the emailย to go through the process of setting one up byย enteringย the relevant details and then clicking on Set Up Direct Debit.
Once all the details are correct click on the Confirm button to process the Payment. This will reflect the payment in Nomi with a message stating that the payment has been successful.

Then select Edit on the right-hand side of the customer this will be done for and within the GoCardless Mandate field select Yes and the correct nameย (this will be the same as the name that has been set up on GoCardless for this customer). Once the mandate has been enabled,ย the customer will then be able to pay throughย Nomiย via GoCardless.

To Generate a quote/contract you will have to first add a lead or you can also generate a quote/contract for an existing client or contact. There is a 9-step process which you have to follow:
Quotes and Contract Dashboard
This is the dashboard-like leads that shows the data concerning the past 30 days i.e. The contracts sent/ Contracts Signed, the business generated i.e. the signed-up value in the past 30 days. Anything under Awaiting signature means that the contracts sent by you but still not signed by Leads. This helps you keep track, and you can then follow up on the leads. If you have missed sending any contract that is created, then you can review that and send it to the lead for E-sign.
All the Quotes and Contracts that you generate get listed on this screen and if something is in draft you can again edit that record and complete the process.
We will now create a Quote and Contract by clicking on +New Quote in the top right corner.
Creating a New Quote
Itโs a 9-step process that helps you create a New Quote and Contract and then you can get it signed electronically by the Lead. The software allows you to create a quote and contract not only for a Lead but also for an existing Client or Contact.
Here you need to enter the name of the lead and select from the search column. This will populate the details that you have recorded. You have to set the quote type to new/renew and select whether you are offering Recurring or Ad hoc services or both. Click on next and this takes you to select the services tab.
Select Service
On this screen, you can select the packages from the dropdown such as Premium/Standard and Lite. Based on your selection the services that are included in the package are selected by default and if you want to include any other services then you can select those services as well. In case you donโt want to offer a package then you may select the services as agreed with the lead. All the services and packages can be customised under Accountant Setup>>Pricing Matrix.
Pricing Drivers
The next screen is pricing drivers which help you decide the factors such as turnover threshold, Monthly Bookkeeping transactions, Type of Self-Assessment, and the various supplementary forms if any, Payroll frequency and the count of Employees, etc. All these are preset under the Value Pricing Matrix. (On this screen we have to set up the parameters of pricing drivers)
Package Quote
On this screen, you will find a Custom package based on the services you have selected and then you will see three more packages viz Premium/Standard and Lite. These packages include the services which are a part of the Custom package and apart from that they also offer extra services and there are few discounts on these packages. In case you want to upsell the services and get extra for a few services that you offer then you may give the lead a choice to choose between the custom package and the premium/standard or lite package.
On this screen, you can also select the mode of payment i.e. Direct Debit or Bank Transfer or Direct Debit- Go Cardless. As soon as the contract is signed by the lead a Direct debit Mandate is sent to the customer and they can set this up. This further helps you in collecting the payments automatically on a specific date. Junior Staff members can also request a higher discount in case they need to offer that to close a deal.
Ad hoc Quote
As you click on next, it takes you to the Ad hoc quote and on this screen, you will find services like VAT Registration/P11D Submission/Bookkeeping (Catchup). In case you want to give any discounts then you may do so.
Terms and Conditions
Here you will be able to see the Payment Terms and Conditions, i.e. coming from a template. This is a default one, however, we can make necessary changes in the Appendix 2 T&C templates under Accountant Setup.
Generate a Quote
On this screen, we can see the Quote that is generated. It will show the logo of your firm and then the packages you have selected on the Package Quote screen. Which gives the lead an option to choose from. It also includes the โStatement of Factsโ which shows all the services and what will be done in that contract of service.
In case everything is agreed upon and the lead does not want any quote and is looking forward to a Contract of the Services that are agreed then you may skip and go to the Contract generation.
Send Quote
On this screen, you will see an HTML version of the quote, and this looks more professional as compared to the traditional PDF version.
This is sent as an email and there is a link in this. The client has to click on that link and then they are redirected to a webpage. Here they have an option to Accept or Reject the quote. As soon as they do this you will receive an email saying that the quote has been accepted or rejected by the customer and then you take the necessary action.
Contract
The quote is accepted by the Lead, and they chose the Premium package as compared to the custom package as it adds more value. You have to choose a premium package from the dropdown menu and then all the services that are a part of the premium package will be listed. The payment method will be the same as selected earlier and then you may click on โโGenerate Contractโ.
Contracts E-Signature
On this screen, you can see the Engagement Letter is selected by default. It also gives you the option to select other documents viz Director Guarantee letter where the director of the company provides you with a guarantee that in case of any default in payment, he will become personally liable, and all of your dues are met. You can set up the Direct debit with the lead and collect the payments automatically. You donโt have to do it separately and this is a part of LOE and helps save a lot of Admin time.
Finally, you have to click on Generate and Review Contract and then it takes you to a screen where you may preview the contract before sending it to the client for E-Signature.
Preview and Send the Contract
Here you can click on Preview and in a pop-up the Contract PDF will be generated which you will send to the client.
The Lead will receive the contract E-sign email where they have to click on the link and then they can sign this Electronically.
As the contract is signed by the client the direct debit Mandate is sent to the customer and the payment method is also set up.
While signing the Contract if the E-sign fields are overlapping then the most probable reason for this is the logo size. While uploading the logo you have to take care that it should be of a banner style and the size should be 800 (width) x 200 (height) pixels and formatted as JPEG, JPG, X-PNG or PNG. If the logo size is larger than this then the placement of the Signature Tag is changed.
To create a Self-Assessment profile you will have to add them as Contacts. Then you will have to update the following details:
After updating all the above fields, you will have to tick the check box โSelf-Assessment Requiredโ and click on Save. This will create an Individual record under Self-Assessment on compliance.
When you do the compliance sync you have to make sure that the services are marked as โActive under the Compliance and Deadlines tab and software is set to Nomi. If you do not mark the service as Active and then complete the Compliance Sync process, then all the records are created in Nomi Compliance but as โInactive recordsโ. You can later mark the services as Active in CRM or else under Compliance you can set them from Inactive to Active.

Steps to Resolve Pending Incorporation Status
By addressing these potential issues and following these steps, you can help expedite the incorporation process and resolve any pending status efficiently.
You can start with KYC checks. This is done by a third-party provider called ID3 Global. They check the International PEPS, Mortality Database, and a few other databases and generate a score between 0 to 2400. This will also tell you the status of the Individual KYC check i.e. Pass, Refer or Fail. Pass means everything is matched with the data you provided i.e. address/Driving License or Passport Number. Refer means some of the data has matched and some did not match but still you can check with the individual and proceed further. Fail means a negative score which indicates that something is wrong on that record. This acts as a showstopper, and you need to check the data and redo the KYC. A certificate of KYC is generated by ID3 Global as and when KYC is done.
Webforms streamline lead automation. By creating a web form and integrating the iframe and HTML code into your website, you can generate a ‘Contact Us’ form. Any information left by visitors will automatically set them up as leads in Nomi.
Create New Webforms
On this page, you have the option to input a name for the web form and its return URL. Following that, you can choose the fields and designate some as mandatory, like First Name, Last Name, Email, and Phone, ensuring you can easily reach out to them.
You will have to set up the Incoming and Outgoing SMTP under Accountant Setup>>Email Settings. You can set up the incoming email server of your email id and for outgoing you can verify the SMTP from AWS. This will send all the emails under your email ID using AWS SMTP. You may also contact support for troubleshooting any email setup-related issues you face.

Marginal relief is a tax provision designed to help companies whose profits fall just above the lower threshold for the higher rate of corporation tax. It effectively creates a smoother transition between the lower and higher rates of corporation tax by reducing the tax burden on companies that would otherwise face a sudden increase in their tax liability. However, there are several reasons why marginal relief might not be calculated or applied:
Reasons Why Marginal Relief Might Not Be Calculated
Steps to Ensure Marginal Relief is Calculated Correctly
Marginal relief is a beneficial provision for companies with profits just above the lower threshold, but it only applies under specific conditions. Ensuring accurate profit calculation, accounting for associated companies, staying updated with current tax legislation, and checking for administrative errors are crucial steps in ensuring marginal relief is correctly calculated. If in doubt, seeking the assistance of a tax professional can help ensure compliance and optimization of tax liabilities.
Presenter ID and Presenter Authentication
Presenter ID and Presenter Authentication are key elements used by Companies House in the UK to identify and verify the identity of individuals or entities submitting documents on behalf of companies. These mechanisms ensure that only authorized individuals can file documents, providing a layer of security and accountability. This is required for every Agent if they are looking to file Accounts to Companies House through any third-party software.
Presenter ID
Presenter ID is a unique identifier assigned to individuals or entities that submit documents to Companies House. This ID is used to track submissions and ensure that they are being made by authorized persons.
Presenter Authentication
Presenter Authentication refers to the process and credentials used to verify the identity of the person or entity submitting documents to Companies House. This authentication ensures that submissions are made by authorized presenters and helps prevent unauthorized access or fraudulent filings.
Importance in Filing with Companies House
Presenter ID and Presenter Authentication are essential components of the document submission process to Companies House. They provide a secure and efficient way to manage filings, ensuring that only authorized individuals can submit documents on behalf of companies. This system enhances security, accountability, and compliance with regulatory requirements, ultimately contributing to the integrity of corporate records.

The Dividend and Retained Earnings are not part of detailed income statements hence we have taken that off after the feedback we received.
We have a Dashboard for Accountants which is a Practice Management Dashboard for Year-end Accounts and Corporation Tax Returns. This is a super useful tool to manage all your due dates/deadlines / various filters and various statuses.
Here you can see the overdue accounts and corporation tax deadlines along with the records on which you have still not started working.
We also have a workflow through which you can update the status of your work such as in progress/On hold/Awaiting approval etc and when it is getting due i.e. 1 week/1 month/3-6 Month and if you click on the count, it will take you to that screen and the name of the companies will be listed there. You can check this for both i.e. Accounts and CT600.
From this screen, you can download the report and also use various filter options. You can also send reminder bulk emails and SMS to clients and account managers so that they can take necessary actions on time. This can save you a lot of hassle.
If you want to keep track of the work completed by accountants, then you can view that under this dashboard.
The final accounts/corporation tax due by accountants will show you what is being done with the accounts or corporation tax records assigned to various accountants and whether they are working or if anything is getting delayed.
From here you can also navigate to the individual dashboard of a Company.
Under this dashboard you can view and edit the Company details, change the reporting standard, check the trading status of the company, and view and compare the key figures of the current and past year, deadlines are listed for CS01, Accounts and Corporation Tax.
CS01 is integrated with the COHO. Accounts and CT600 are based on the logic of 9 months and 12 months from the accounting period end. In case you want to leave any notes internally then you may do so on this screen.
This is more like status management and this system at the moment does not automatically send notifications or reminders to client managers or clients, but you can use this system to send bulk emails and reminders to clients. Overall, this is a snapshot of the stages of your client and is a great tool for effective client management and updating them.
You can manage all your work by providing comments and updating the current work status. Any senior team member can keep track of the work done through various statuses as this is linked with the practice dashboard. Here the checklist will also appear which you can create globally under Agent Hub settings, and it shows you the submission status as well.
Usually, the Bookkeepers and Accountants use both services due to the integration we offer, however, if you are not using the bookkeeping then you may mark it inactive by clicking on the edit icon on the right side and under the general tab you can select the services from Bookkeeping and Final Account to Final Accounts only.
We have also offered the Final Accounts Practice Dashboard which lets you know what is due or overdue with context to Final Accounts and Corporation Tax.
To open a Final Accounts record you will have to click on Final Accounts service of the Client. If only the final accounts service is active and not the bookkeeping, then it will take you to a dashboard with limited access to Bookkeeping.
Bookkeeping Dashboard with Limited Access
NOTE: If you are managing the bookkeeping in Nomi then you donโt have to import the trial balance as all the data is updated from bookkeeping into final accounts and all the modules are well-integrated.
As you can see, we have limited access to the bookkeeping module. Here we can take all the necessary actions that are required before we start with the Final Accounts and Corporation Tax.
We can set up the Accounting Period under settings>>Accounting Periods. When we import the Company/LLP then it imports the current Accounting Period, however, if we want to prepare a comparative report then we need to add the previous accounting periods. For this, we have to click on settings and then on the Accounting Period Tab. Here we can click on Adjust Accounting periods and on the next screen we can click on the labels Add Next Year or Add Previous Year.
To manage the long period you can also change the dates of the accounting period if required. In the event of more than 12 months period you will have to create a full period let’s say 12 months and one week. The software will then divide this period into two CT600s. The first will be for 12 Months and another for a week however for Accounts purposes the complete period is submitted.
Nominal Codes or the Chart of Accounts is the next step. If you are doing bookkeeping with some other software and a few of the accounts, you have set up are different to what we have in Nomi then you may add those under the Chart of Accounts. For this, you can click on Add Account in the top right corner, and you will have a list of different Account types you can add Incomes, expenses, Debtors, Creditors, Bank Accounts, Assets, Liabilities etc. Also, you can first search whether the Nominal you have in your bookkeeping package is available in Nomi with a different name with the help of the search option.
After creating all the required nominal codes, you can import the Trial Balance in Nomi which you can do with the Advisor Tools in the Header or on the left vertical pane. As you click on this you will get three options i.e. CSV, XERO, and QuickBooks. When you import the data through CSV, you can download the template and it will show three columns by default i.e. Ledger Code, Account Name and Balance. You can change the balance to Debit and Credit columns, and it will be easier for you to import the data. Now if you are not sure of the Nominals then you can skip the whole thing and only mention the Account Name i.e. Sales, Purchases etc and enter the amounts in the Debit or Credit columns. Once you have updated all the information then you may import the trial balance and map the columns correctly. This will take you to the import trial balance page where you have to enter the period-end data as the import data for the relevant accounting period and map the nominals if not mapped in the trial balance. Please make sure the Trial Balance is matched i.e. the debit should be equal to credit.
Similarly, you can import the data from Xero and QuickBooks and for that, you have to make the selection from the dropdown menu, and it takes you to the login screen of that software. After logging in you can select the client for whom you want to import the Trial balance and it will fetch all the information directly into Nomi.
To update the data manually you have to click on the Journals option available under Advisor Tools. On this screen, you can click on Add and a pop-up will appear where you will have to mention the date of posting and description and then enter the Nominals and Debits and Credits.
So, these are a few ways through which you can update the data in Nomi in case you are not doing the Bookkeeping. If you are doing the Bookkeeping, then you have to only take care of Accounting Periods and Nominal Codes as a part of bookkeeping.
After updating all the information, you can click on Final Accounts Dashboard.

Up until the Tax year 2022-2023, every unincorporated business operates within its Accounting Period. According to HMRC, the Tax period spans from 6th April to 5th April the following year. During this period, starting from every 6th of April, we evaluate income and apply taxes accordingly. This established practice has been consistently followed to date.
However, the Sole Traders and Partners usually donโt follow the same tax year. They have accounting periods let’s say August 2021 to July 2022 which is different to Tax Year.ย In this case, the Income and Expenses related to the Accounting Period August 2021-July 2022 are reported directly into the Tax Return period of 2022-23. We do not apportion the Income and expenses from August 2021 to April 2022 and from April to July. From the 2024/25 tax year, HMRC’s basis period reform means all unincorporated businesses will use the UK tax year of 6 April to 5 April as their basis period for income tax assessment.
Before we proceed further, we have to be clear with the below key terms:
Overlap Profits: Overlap profits occur when someone who is registered as self-employed chooses to report their income and expenditure in the self-employment section of their tax return for an accounting period that is not the same as the tax year. These overlap profits will normally arise in their first 3 tax returns. To avoid double taxation, HMRC allows businesses to claim overlap relief. Overlap relief applies to profits that have been taxed more than once due to overlapping basis periods. This relief can be deducted from the taxable profits in the transition year.
If a sole trader chooses to draw up their income and expenditure for the accounting period that matches the tax year, then basis periods and overlap profits wonโt arise.
Accounting Profits: Accounting profit, also known as net income or net profit, is the difference between a businessโs total revenue and its total explicit costs over a specific period. Explicit costs include all direct costs associated with running the business, such as wages, rent, materials, and other operational expenses. These are related to a particular accounting period i.e. August 2022 to July 2023
Transition Profits: “Transition profits” in the context of HMRC (Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs) refer to profits that are adjusted or re-evaluated during the transition from one accounting method or period to another. This often arises in the context of changes in tax rules, accounting standards, or business practices that necessitate a re-evaluation of previously reported profits.
One significant context where transition profits are relevant is the alignment of accounting periods for tax purposes, especially in light of changes to the basis period rules for unincorporated businesses. As of the latest changes, HMRC has implemented new rules to align the accounting periods of businesses more closely with the tax year, leading to the concept of “transition profits.”
Transition Year: The year in which the transition to the new rules takes place is known as the “transition year.” During this year, businesses might have to report profits for a period longer than 12 months or shorter as well. So, 2023-2024 is termed a Transition year and our transition profit after Overlap Relief will be spread over 5 years, starting with the tax year 2023 to 2024 and ending with the tax year 2027 to 2028.
Accounting Period: The accounting period for self-employed individuals under HMRC (Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs) refers to the time frame for which a self-employed person prepares their accounts and reports their profits or losses. This period is essential for determining the income that needs to be reported for tax purposes.
Transition Period: The “transition period” as per HMRC, particularly in the context of the basis period reform for unincorporated businesses, refers to the time during which businesses adjust their accounting periods to align with the new tax year basis. This transition is part of HMRC’s efforts to simplify the tax system by ensuring that business profits are reported in line with the tax year (April 6 to April 5).
Basis Period: The basis period as per HMRC (Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs) refers to the time frame for which self-employed individuals and partnerships calculate their taxable profits. It determines the period of income that should be reported for a specific tax year. To keep it simple, we can understand in this way that the Accounting Period + Transition Period is the basis period.
Transition Period Spread: The transition period spread refers to the option provided by HMRC for businesses to spread the taxable profits arising during the transition year over a specified period, typically up to five years. This helps businesses manage their tax liabilities more effectively during the shift to the new basis period rules.
Explanation with example
Let’s take an example and see how it fits into Nomi.
Test Case
1 Overlap Profits- ยฃ15000
Calculation: Accounting Profits+ (Transition Profits-Overlap Profits)
= 55000 + (40000-15000)
= 55000 + (25000)
= 55000 + 25000
= 80000
Here ยฃ25000 is the profit available for transition spread.
Now we will navigate to the Self-Assessment Full form in Nomi and enter the data.
To access the form, you will have to navigate to Agent Hub>>Self-Assessment>>Client List>>Click on Client Name>>Income (left vertical)>>Self Employment>>Click on + New Self Employment Full.
This will redirect you to the Self-Employment full form and then you can enter the data such as Business Name, Trade Description and Accounting Period Start and End Date.
Please note that this Accounting Period should be the one for which you have calculated the Accounting profit.
Then you have to enter the Income which includes the turnover or any other profits.
After this kindly record all the Expenses along with any Capital Allowances.
After recording all the Incomes and Expenses you will have to click on Taxable Profit/Loss Calculation. On this screen you will have to enter the Basis period start and end date under Box 66 and Box 67.
Then you can see Box No 73 where the Adjusted Profit value is showing up which is ยฃ55000. After this we have, the following boxes and we can enter the data accordingly:
Box 73.1-Box 73.2= Box 73.3.
Please note that these are manual calculations and not automatic.
To check the tax implication, we have to review the Tax calculation summary. For this, we will navigate to Review & File>>Tax Calculation Summary.
As you can see the tax is calculated on Profit from Self-Employment after deducting the Personal Allowance i.e. The Total income on which tax is due.
Then it also shows you a Tax due on transition profit i.e. ยฃ10000.
If we see the detailed calculation, then the net profit for tax purposes is ยฃ55000, however, for Class 4 NICs the total profits taken into consideration is ยฃ80000 which is the total taxable profit.
Note: For Partnerships, you will have to enter the values in boxes 16.1 (Transition profit or loss), 16.2 (Overlap relief), and 16.3 (Spread of transition profit treated as arising).
The Basis Period Reform is a positive step towards simplifying tax reporting for businesses. By aligning our accounting period with the tax year, the business can achieve greater clarity and consistency in the financial reporting.
The Self-Assessment mobile app is a bridge between clients and advisors that helps unlock hidden efficiencies within the Self-Assessment production process.
The app has eliminated all of the time-consuming processes such as email or SMS and has all the functionalities such as real-time notifications which will help you gather the necessary data needed on the go from the convenience of your mobile phone.
You can review the Tax Calculation generated from the submitted Tax Questionnaire by going to Review and File on the left-hand menu of the clientโs Self-Assessment module.
You will also be able to review the final Self-Assessment Tax Return (HMRC form) that is to be submitted by going to the same Review and File section and selecting the appropriate option.
The Tax Questionnaire comprises twenty-six questions covering every scenario and can unlockย โhiddenโย conversations such as tax saving opportunities or additionalย value-addedย work. It simply allows clients to answer theย questions within the app which will then automatically import the answers back over to the web application and then populate the clientsโ Self-Assessment. Some questions will only appear ifย yesย has been marked for certain other questions.
The client will then have the option to upload any additional files at the end of the questionnaire before submitting. Files will be stored within the Documents section of the clientโs Self-Assessment which can beย reviewed by an advisor at any time.ย The client can then review the completed Tax Questionnaire by clicking on Review and Submit and then selecting Submitย if all information is correct. Once successfully submitted, the Tax Return Status will then change toย Questionnaire Submitted and the action button will change to Awaiting Advisor.
Once a client (business user) has been assigned to a Self-Assessment they will first need to check thatย all ofย the personal information is correct within the app.
Click on the settings icon in the top right corner which will then take you to the Profile Information page where the client will be able to double-check and edit any details if necessary (this will then automatically update this information on the web application).
Go to the Agent Dashboard, select Users on the left-hand menu, click on the three dots to the right of the business user you wish to give access to their Self-Assessment and select Assign SA from the drop-down options.
Type in the name of the client you wish to assign the Self-Assessment to and then click Assign.
Send digital tax questionnaires to your clients to collect Self-Assessment data to digitally transfer them to your clientโs Self-Assessment returns with the click of a button. Your client can submit the data using the mobile app or via a web browser.
You will be able to keep track of any questionnaires sent out to clients via the Self-Assessment table found on the Agent Self-Assessment dashboard, keeping track and showing the current status of all your clientsโ Self-Assessments.
Go to Self-Assessment on the left-hand menu on the Agent dashboard and select Dashboard. Then click on the Send Tax Questionnaire Reminder button in the top right-hand corner.
Aย pop-upย page will then appear where you will then be able to select all or multiple different clients at one time that are present on the list.
Once you have selected your clients you will then be able to make any necessary adjustments to the email template that will be sent out with the Tax Questionnaire Reminder. Once you have double-checked that everything is correct you will need to click Next and then Send.
Go toย Self-Assessmentย on theย left-handย menu of the Agent Dashboard and select Client List. Then select which client you wish to send a Tax Questionnaire Reminder to by using the search bar and clicking Update.

Self-assessment is integrated with Bookkeeping/Final Accounts/Payroll/Partnership Tax Return and you can also import data from Tax Questionnaires and Get Data from HMRC. The integration helps reduce the admin time and you can quickly complete all your tax returns.
ย Import Data from Questionnaire
As discussed earlier you can send a Tax Questionnaire to your clients and once, they fill in the data and respond to the Tax questionnaire then you can import the data directly into the Tax Return of the individual. You will have to click on โImport data from Questionnaireโ and it takes you to the import data from questionnaire screen where you will find information updated by the individual and this can be imported to their tax return.
Get Data from HMRC
Integrated with HMRC the software helps you import data related to employment, pension, jobseekersโ allowance and NICs through โGet data from HMRCโ.
Income: dividend linking with bookkeeping
We can now start entering the information from the left panel by clicking on Income and then we can enter the data manually for Bank interest/Pensions and Other UK income.
The Dividend Income can be further linked with the Bookkeeping Module, and you can fetch the dividend information directly into the SA100. For this, you have to first issue a dividend under the Bookkeeping Module for the Director/Individual. Then you need to click on โLink Dividendโ and in the pop-up, you will see the name click on the link and all the data will be fetched from the bookkeeping module.
Income from property: Multiple property wizard
You can fill in the income related to property under this section. There are two ways to update the data, the first being entering the data on the summary screen. In case the individual has rental income from multiple properties then you can use the Multiple Property wizard and record the information for different properties. Later you can also check the Residential Finance Cost Computation in the Documents section.
Employment
You can populate the data in the Employment section if the individual is in Employment with one or more than one employer. You can click on the link and a pop-up will appear where you can search for the individual if they are employed in any of the companies for whom you are processing the payroll in Nomi. In case they are employed in two different companies then the record will appear twice, and you can link the record with both employers.
Apart from this, the data is also updated if you click on โGet Data from HMRCโ on the dashboard and if HMRC holds any information for the individual related to employment then you may fetch the same under the Employment Supplementary form. It also gets the data through the tax questionnaire if the individual has responded to that and updated their employment details. A manual option is also present, and we can add the data manually as well.
Self-Employment
For Sole Trader Businesses we can record all the data in Final Accounts and then when we are preparing the SA100, it can be linked to the Self Employment form. This avoids duplication of data entry at various sections and saves a lot of admin time. After linking the information if you make any changes in the Final Accounts of the Sole Trader then it is updated on a Real-Time basis, and you donโt have to relink the Accounts.
The data linking options are very useful for Accountants and help them in reducing the turnaround time on each tax record. It helps them automate everything and encourages them to file more tax returns and generate more business every year.
Partnership
If the individual is a partner in any of the partnership firms for which you are filing an SA800 then all the information can be directly updated into a Partnership supplementary form. All you have to do is click on โLink Individualโ and in the pop-up it will show you the individualโs record and the partnership name.
From your Agent screens, click on the + button in the top right-hand corner, select New Client and then choose the Self-Assessment option.
Either choose to manually add a new client or you can batch upload multiple clients by downloading the CSV template, populating it and then uploading via the choose file option.
Once you have successfully added a client/s (either manually or batch upload) they will then appear within your clients list under the Service Type โSelf-Assessmentโ.
