ECSH45853 - Registering online: common application submission issues

There are some common issues a business could face when attempting to submit an online application. The list below details some of these issues and how to resolve them.

1. The business has completed the application but not fully submitted it 

Once all sections of the application form are completed, the business needs to:  

  • Press the Save and complete the section button. 

  • Tick the declaration box.

  • Press the save and submit button. 

Sometimes a business does not complete this process in full, which means HMRC cannot see the application on Enterprise Tax Management Platform (ETMP).

The business will need to login, using the sign in details it used when registering for anti-money laundering supervision, to complete the declaration, save and submit the form.

2. The business does not pay the required fees 

If the business chooses to pay the required fees by card, the fees must be paid at the time the application form is completed. If the fee is not paid the application will not be submitted to HMRC. The online application will be saved for 28 days and the business must pay the fees before the application can be determined. If the fees are not paid, the application will be rejected.

3. The business advises that it receives an error message when trying to submit its application 

The business is not using the sign in details it used when it registered for anti-money laundering supervision: the business may be able to fill out an application form but will not be able to submit the form.
