Thanks for the reminder.
In our business we have to provide letters of good standing with the compensation commissioner. The last letter from them dated 01/11/2011 (with expiry date of 31/01/2012) stated that we are in good standing subject to "our earnings return has been received but has not yet been processed" So we are still waiting for our assesment to pay them for last year.
When this letter expired I applied for a new one and I was informed on a letter from them dated 04/02/2012 that they cannot provide a letter as our 2011 return of earnings is to be submitted 31/03/2012.
So I wrote back saying:
We have not received a return as yet
A return cannot be issued as the Feb '12 earnings are still outstanding
We are still waiting for our assessment for the 2010 year
But here is our list with earnings with provisional earnings for Feb '12

So I received a letter of good standing to expire 31/07/2012 subject to "earnings return received, but not processed yet"

My main concern is that we have not received our assesment so no payment has been made for last year.
Anyone else with this problem or suggestions
