Submitting a Corporate tax return

Hi,
this is my second year for submitting a corporate tax return, i seem to be getting a problem with the form, if anyone has experience with these forms i would be really grateful.

the error i am getting is this
X ERROR: The retained profit at 2015-06-30 must tally with the value in the balance
sheet. Please check and amend your entries.

i have checked and double checked and i dont seem to see the problem. :-(

  • Do you have access to an accountant who can help you? How did you certify the accounts in the previous year and by whom? They should be able to point you in the right direction...
  • I did it myself the first year, i had a little bit of a problem but i had some help from someone on a different website. I'm not sure if they are still around.

    I cant afford an accountant as i am only a small business.

    Can you post up your trial balance for the year and tell us what difference the system is telling you.

    Hi Pennywise,

    its a bit more complex than that. it uses a pdf online form. its done other seperate forms and also bringing in last years balance. i just thought someone on here might have experience in using the companies ohuse corporate tax return pdf form.

    Yes, but you need the right figures to put in the online/pdf form, and those are best coming from a trial balance which would include an opening balance to check against the prior year. I really can't see how you can do the online form/pdf without a balanced set of accounts, i.e. a trial balance.
  • i have an excel spreadsheet which i use to calculate the figures to put into the pdf file.

    And the spreadsheet includes balance sheet values? Or just income and expense?
