Although this is a tax payable, the Total Payable/Receivable amount is Zero.

The previous tax return run resulted in a tax receivable from tax authority.

However, this tax receivable has been carried forward to the current tax return, which has a tax payable in the same amount.

Refer to the Carry Forward Amount field in the tax return.
