CHIEF error codes E10000 to E10199

Details

Not all of the error responses currently have a solution.

You contact the CHIEF Operations Team at email: chief.operations@hmrc.gov.uk if:

  • you find an error response that does not have a solution
  • the solution needs to be clearer
  • you need information on CHIEF error code responses that have not been included on the trade version of the help text

This will help HMRC to improve the service.

All the error codes are 1 letter and 5 numbers, so if you’ve got CHIEF error message E10002 you’ll need to look at E10002.
