How to sync company officers?

Company officers (Directors/Secretaries/PSCs) can now be created in TaxCalc using the data available on Companies House Public Register.

If an individual does not exist in TaxCalc, the Sync option in the wizard will default to ‘New Client’. You can change this to a New Client, New Contact or an Existing Client/Contact by selecting the appropriate option from the drop-down menu.

Creating a new client/contact will require you to enter a unique client/contact code in the field provided before the client/contact can be synced with relevant information.

Please note: Officer’s date of birth is not held on Companies House Public Register therefore the day field under the Companies House data will be left blank. Users will be required to manually populate the date of birth for the officer before syncing the data for completeness.

The service address for an officer can be saved using the Sync options, if an address does not exist in TaxCalc, this can be synced as Current address. Alternatively, New/Existing address may be selected from the drop down menu.
