Gong round in Circles with CT600

Gong round in Circles with CT600

Didn't find your answer?

I am on the point of going insane so if anyone can help I would be most grateful. In the Profit and Loss section get an X ERROR message for AC187. It seems to be calculated by taking previous year's retained profit, adding it to the current year's profit and subtracting equity dividend as shown at AC38 - so far so good.

The guide I am using (found it on the Web) says that AC187 must equal AC74 - it didn't so I altered AC74 but now get an X ERROR 80. My guide says this must equal AC68. It doesn't. Whichever I correct I either get an error for AC187 or AC80. I suspect I should be including the previous years profits in the current year's but can't see where.

Can anyone help or tell me where I can get a guide for dummies?

Many Thanks

Get an accountant

The HMRC CT system is less than ideal to use. However, it sounds like the sections you are having trouble with are the accounts detail sections. The fact that you are saying a figure "seems to be" made up of other particular figures indicates to me that you do not understand accounts well enough. The problem may therefore be that your accounts do not balance properly, so you will never be able to get them to agree.

Do yourself a favour and get an accountant to handle this for you. Then you can concentrate on whatever you actually do for a living and leave this headache to someone who knows how to handle it.

I have to agree with stepurhan

If you accounts balance OK, then the HMRC online offering is fine ... but if they don't to the extent that you are having to create balancing figures, you will get absolutely nowhere ... even being £1 adrift will stop you in your tracks ... so do as Stepurhan says. Nothing else, apart from a long expensive course in accountancy, is really going to help. Sorry to be the bearer of sad tiding........
