Why do I get error 7816 when I send my year end to HMRC?Most employers joined RTI in 2013/14, but some employers were enrolled in the RTI pilot, which covered the 2012/13 tax year.If you were enrolled in the RTI pilot and tried to send a 2012/13 year end return, you would have received this message: "ERROR 3001 The submission of this document has failed due to departmental specific business logic in the Body tag. ERROR 7816 This End Of Year return cannot be accepted as the employer has been invited to join RTI and the return is within or after the tax year they were invited." If you call the HMRC Employer's helpline on 0300 200 3200, they can remove you from the pilot so you can resend your year end return and then begin sending RTI returns in 2013/14. Back to the FAQ |
