18 November 2010 Agree .

After submitting his Return, the assesse should wait to get an acknowledgement on his computer screen, of having successfully filed his Return.

He should then print a copy of the same as proof of having filed his return.

He should be advised to quote the Computer generated number of the acknowledgement in all his future correspondence with the department on this return.
