What to do if your return fails it
- 01Open the tables below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02The check applies only when its first part holds in your return. When it does, the second part must hold too: fix the second part, or correct the first.
- 03The Bank of England allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
- 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark OF25.01.01.01, OF25.01.01.03 and OF25.02.01.01 as reported.
- 05This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.
