HMRC Filing Exclusions 2019/20Exclusions have arisen due to the previous introduction of additional allowances and bands for certain types of income, making the calculation of the tax liability more complex. HMRC systems expect our software to match their method of calculation in order for the returns to be filed electronically. However, the legislation states that HMRC should deduct the reliefs and allowances in the way which will result in the greatest reduction in the taxpayer's liability to income tax and this is not always the case in their methodology. Whilst some of last years' issues have been corrected by HMRC, some remain and some have also been added. Consequently, our software may not provide the correct calculation and for most scenarios affected, before filing, TaxCalc will identify the exclusion number and provide instructions on how to deal with the return. HMRC 2019/20 Special CasesSpecial Cases represent issues that HMRC have identified as requiring a workaround in order to prevent a filing rejection. Where possible, we have taken care of these workarounds within the software or have provided a message before live filing to advise how to deal with the workaround. There are limited scenarios where a paper return will need to be filed. Some examples of special cases are:

Exclusions not identified in TaxCalcSome exclusions were identified or updated by HMRC in December 2020 and January 2021 which we have been unable to implement in the software for 2019/20. This is due to either outstanding queries with HMRC on the specific criteria to capture the correct scenarios or insufficient time to develop and test changes to the software to ensure minimal impact to customers during the busy filing season.
If you believe your tax calculation is affected by one of the Exclusions not identified in TaxCalc, HMRC advise to submit a paper return.
