DMBM231530 - Annual Balance: Debt Pursuit Offices: Checking Balance forms: Checks of figures brought forward from previous statements

Some content of this manual is being considered for archiving. If there is content you use regularly, please email hmrcmanualsteam@hmrc.gov.uk to let us know as soon as possible.

Consistency is vital in the national consolidation of accounts, so you must bring forward all figures shown as carried forward in the previous year’s Balance Statements:

  • in the same amount
  • against the same head of duty
  • against the same element of the head of duty (Tax, Interest, Penalty and so on).

Office reorganisations

Offices involved in reorganisations at the previous Balance date must, as appropriate, also:

  • exclude from brought forward figures all amounts transferred to another office at the close of the previous Account
  • include all amounts transferred in at the start of this Account.

If you discover a discrepancy in a brought forward figure, send full details to your Group Office.

Important - Do not try to provide a solution yourself.
