Details

Not all of the error responses currently have a solution.

You should email the CHIEF Operations Team 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

This will help HMRC to improve the service.

All the error codes are 1 letter and 5 numbers, so if you’ve got CHIEF error message E203 you’ll need to look at E00203.
