NJT Tax Return Manager

(Bridging software for online filing of the MTD compliant Tax Returns to Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs)

Installing New 'Front End' Software Releases



The 'NJT Tax Return Manager' bridging software is an application developed in Microsoft Access. The software comprises of a ‘Front End’ application (Software) and a separate ‘Back End’ database.
Consequently, When new versions of the software are released, you will need to download the new ‘Front End’ software, which then should be used instead of the previous version.
When you open the new version old versions will be moved automatically to the '(Archive)' sub folder.
Note: If your business 'Firewall' prevents use of 'Method 1' then you can manually transfer to the new version using 'Method 2'.
