We requested this in 2016 - for us the usefulness is two-fold. Firstly, it allows you to do real-time variance analysis and sense checking, secondly it helps you not to miss things - like a P11d entry that was there last year..
Maybe it would be useful for there to be a variance report instead (i.e. comparing like for like, and the percentage different of each figure (the old 'pertax' software used to do this!)
This is a great idea and something that we have looked at in the past, but always ran into difficulties with it. I would be really interested to know if your request is just the ability to see the previous years figures or also be able to access them and potentially even edit them whilst in that view, so saving you from having to close out and switch tax years?

Jenny, it is mainly the ability to see last year for comparison on screen and on reports (tax comp, data report etc)
Viewing the figures on the inputting screen would be helpful.

It would be great to viiew them at least, it just gives an instant check on variances.
