DMBM231530 - Annual Balance: Debt Pursuit Offices: Checking Balance forms: Checks of figures brought forward from previous statements
The majority of this manual will be archived on 1 July 2024. If there is content within this manual you use regularly, email hmrcmanualsteam@hmrc.gov.uk to let us know.
Consistency is vital in the national consolidation of accounts, so you must bring forward all figures shown as carried forward in the previous year’s Balance Statements:
- in the same amount
- against the same head of duty
- against the same element of the head of duty (Tax, Interest, Penalty and so on).
Office reorganisations
Offices involved in reorganisations at the previous Balance date must, as appropriate, also:
- exclude from brought forward figures all amounts transferred to another office at the close of the previous Account
- include all amounts transferred in at the start of this Account.
If you discover a discrepancy in a brought forward figure, send full details to your Group Office.
Important - Do not try to provide a solution yourself.
