Resolution schedule

Companies House are providing present IDs with an "E" as a leading character.

This is not accepted when using the TaxCalc application.

Updating to the Summer release will resolve this.

It should be noted that Companies House advised us of this change the day they implemented it so this is the first available release to make the change to TaxCalc.

PROD-12045 v15.0.310
In some cases the Nominal Ledger report will display duplicate director-allocated postings when a director is also the company secretary

In the short term you can either

- un-allocate the directors from the postings, though this will show as un-allocated in the nominal ledger, or

- Temporarily delete the Company Secretary relationship when reviewing the Nominal Ledger.
