The assessment received from SARS is the culmination of all the tax work that you have done and if the tax return has been processed correctly the assessment will agree with the calculation that the Sky Tax system has produced. 
 
If there is an error it behooves the tax practitioner to sort out the error.  The error may be because of something that was entered incorrectly or it could be an error on the SARS side.  Whichever it is it will be necessary for the practitioner to obtain the correct result or to accept the correct result.  In the event that there are revised assessments then the assessment screen will allow you to scroll backwards and forwards between the various revised assessments.
 
The assessment entry routine will allow you to produce a report of differences if you click on the report icon above and if you click on the button with the P, this will allow you to open the PDF assessment file.   The system will also allow you to send an e-mail to the client with the assessment as an attachment.
