Cause
Resolution

This arises due to having entered research and development tax relief surrendered, combined with the software rounding a figure (so the boxes appear to have slightly different figures.)

To resolve the issue;

  1. Select UK Trades and select the trade in question
  2. Select Losses, Losses this period
  3. Reduce the 'R&D tax relief surrendered amount by £1.

The return will now validate successfully.
