HM Revenue and Customs have published lists of certain instances where the Government Gateway or HMRC server will incorrectly report data validation errors when a
SA800 Partnership tax return is being submitted online. This could occur even though you have entered data correctly and the software is submitting what you have entered.
The likely cause of this is an incorrect data validation being applied in the HMRC server.
Specials and Exclusions details published by the HM Revenue & Customs outlines circumstances in which the Government Gateway or HMRC servers are likely to report
validation errors when you submit your SA800 Partnership tax returns even though your returns may be correct.
Please note, these issues are caused by HMRC server validations and are not within Andica Software.
Special Cases represent issues that have been identified and HMRC have recommended workaround
in the event returns are rejected. This document is primarily intended for software developers to allow us to
accommodate the issues outlined into our software and wherever possible, we may have taken care of these workarounds within the software.
However, there may be instances where it has not been possible for us to include these special cases. In some situations you will get a rejection
but by following the recommended workaround you will be able to file online. Please note this list is subject to change and therefore it is advisable
that you check regularly for updates to this document.
Exclusions represent issues that have been identified but HMRC have not been able to resolve or
provide a workaround for some of these issues.

If the above applies to you, if available, review the workaround to see if that resolves the
submission issue.
"HMRC has said that tax returns filed on paper after 31 October will normally trigger a penalty (a maximum of £100 for individuals).
HMRC added that they may accept an appeal and remove the penalty for the late submission of a return where a reasonable excuse exists. Please refer to HMRC web page on http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/online/excuse-missed-deadline.htm and contact them directly for advice."
Where customers advise the HMRC that one or more of the reasons shown on the Exclusions List prevented them from filing their SA return online they will accept an
appeal against a penalty for the late submission of a paper return on the basis that they had a reasonable excuse. Customers will need to submit a written 'claim for reasonable excuse' form.
Tax return reports printed from Andica Software are for customer records only and should not be sent to HMRC.
