If you’re due a refund from Revenue in the period, you can choose to either take the refund or postpone it. Select:

  • P32 Adjustment. To move the credit to the next P32 period to offset liability. This option isn't available if you are in the twelfth month or the fourth quarter of a tax year. Or
