I have 'Foreign Income' from dividends from investment companies domiciled offshore. I enter the dividends for the first company, along with £0 for taxation taken off at source (because it is zero...) when I try to go to the next company via ADD, I just get the following warning:
There was a problem submitting the form
You must:
The amount entered for 'Foreign tax taken off or paid' must be greater than 0 (zero) or blank. Please amend.
The amount entered for 'Special Witholding Tax and any UK tax taken off' must be greater than 0 (zero) or blank. Please amend.
Both amounts WERE zero, so...
I remember having the same problem last year, but in that case I had left the relevant entries blank and, following a call to HMRC, was told I needed to enter zero as the software wouldn't accept blank. This year it won't even accept zero, so I'm stuck. (I suppose I could try £0.01)
Why does it have to be this difficult?
TIA
