HMRC online system for Corporation Tax will not let me enter the correct accounting dates.
I've been asked by HMRC to deliver a tax return for the period 13 Jan 2015 to 12 Jan 2016, and this is the period for which I would like
to deliver the accounts. However, when I enter a start date of 13 Jan 2015 and an end date of 12 Jan 2016 the system says that there is
an error since the end date cannot be later than 30 Dec 2015. What is going on?
The first accounting period of the company is from 13 Jan 2015 until 31 Mar 2016 (with Companies House), longer than one year. Thus, I believe I need to enter
accounts for the period (for HMRC) 13 Jan 2015 to 12 Jan 2016, and additional accounts for the period 13 Jan 2016 until 31 March 2016.
However, I'm blocked by the system refusing to let me enter the first year's account. Has anyone come up against this before?
I've contacted the HMRC helpline and was directed to an online form (by someone who I felt knew even less than me on the subject) where I
described my problem. I do not have much confidence that I will receive a response from them. The feedback system only allowed me to use one
line to describe the problem! Any thoughts? Thanks.
