Details

These are the only spreadsheets you can use to complete your returns. HMRC will not accept any other versions. Do not:

  • change any data entry field formats or the original file format
  • copy onto a blank Excel spreadsheet (this can affect processing)
  • overwrite the original data entry field format

We use data quality software to check that the content of your return follows the correct format.

If you submit data in the wrong format, your return is classed as outstanding until it’s correctly submitted. You could receive a penalty of up to:

  • £1,000 a day if you do not comply
  • £3,000 for an incorrect return

The following guides provide step-by-step help in completing the returns:
