Problem
IRIS Business Tax- Invalid Data Entry: 'Amount of Loan 0.00' and cannot edit values under loans screen
Resolution
If you only get the Amount of Loan error 0.00 then please update to 25.1.3.33 and regenerate and submit.
You may get these three issues in Business Tax on version 25.1.3.33:
- You get the ‘Amount of loan 0.00’ warning when submitting.
- When you go to the ‘Loans to Participators by close companies’ screen – there are director(s) listed where their loan entries are greyed out and you cannot edit values in their rows. These directors may be appearing under ‘Involvements’ as having joined and left the company several times (eg have multiple FROM and TO Dates)
- Values in the greyed out fields are also appearing on the CT600A pages where the director may be duplicated.
The IRIS Development team have found a manual fix (they could not replicate the issue), so follow these steps: To manually remove the involvements relating to the affected Directors/person, then add the involvements back in and then do client refresh in BTAX.
1) Load the affected LTD in BT- Go to View Client
2) Select ‘Related’ tab
3) Click button marked ‘Involvements’ – note down the FROM and TO dates for the affected director/person
4) Click on each affected Director and select ‘Delete’
5) Accept any messages that are shown.
6) Then manually add each Director/person back in – entering the FROM/ TO dates as appropriate
7) Then run the ‘Client Refresh’ (button at top of BTAX). Check the CT600A etc There should be now less entries/duplications and you will have the ability to override any incorrect values that comes through from AP.
If you need to urgently submit the CT600 now without following the fix above: Data Entry, Summary, Right side – Loans to Part by close comp, Tick NO, Add a note to HMRC to state this is omitted loan data of XXX for the client and you plan to send amended later on. When you generate it will NOT pick up the loan information and so you can submit it now. Once you do apply fix above then send an Amended return with the full corrected information later.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused as there is no planned automated fix on version 25.1.4.42 or a later version.
