Details

Not all of the error responses currently have a solution.

You can contact the CHIEF Operations Team at email: chief.operations@hmrc.gov.uk if:

  • you find an error response that does not have a solution
  • the solution needs to be clearer
  • you need information on CHIEF error code responses that have not been included on the trade version of the help text

All the error codes are 1 letter and 5 numbers, so if you’ve got CHIEF error message E3001 you’ll need to look at E03001.
