What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the templates below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02The check applies only when its first part holds in your file. When it does, the second part must hold too: fix the second part, or correct the first.
  3. 03It runs only when your filing indicators mark R 13.00, R 13.00 and R 19.00 as reported.
  4. 04This is a blocking check. A filing that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.
