Paper Filers (Accounts Information - Income Tax)
An income tax return filed electronically through the Revenue On-Line Service (ROS) incorporates an
accounts menu. Accounts menus will be compulsory for the 2002 income tax year for both paper and
electronic filers.
For the tax ‘year’ 2001, paper filers have the option of filing the appropriate accounts menu instead of
their accounts.
This accounts menu (STAM 1) is for a sole trader with an annual turnover of up to £320,000
(£250,000)
It comprises 25 items and an adjusted profit menu of 7 items.
All figures to be shown on this Menu should be entered in either Euro or IR£. Please 3 the
relevant box on Page 1 to indicate the currency of choice.
There are general descriptions of the Menu items (for guidance only) on pages 4 and 5.
The accounts menus provide for Notes to indicate any reservations in the accountant’s report, any
change of accounting policies and / or any change in the nature of the business activities.
You should include your completed Accounts Menu when submitting your Return of Income form.
Please note that there are three other accounts menus (listed below). If this menu is not suitable for
you, please contact your local tax office to arrange for the appropriate menu to issue.
