MATCHING_RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND

HMRC has nothing that matches the details sent. For income tax this is usually a business ID that does not belong to this client, or a request for a tax year before the client's Making Tax Digital obligations start.

HMRC's message · HTTP 404
Matching resource not found

When it appears

Retrieving or submitting against a business, obligation or calculation that HMRC cannot find.

What to check

  • The client's income sources have been refreshed from HMRC, so the business ID is current.
  • The period you are working in falls in a tax year the client is signed up for.
  • For a calculation, you are using the most recent calculation ID.

How to fix it

Refresh the client's businesses from HMRC, choose a period inside a year they are signed up for, and retry.

Making Tax Digital in Accountin

Accountin will send VAT returns and income tax updates to HMRC once HMRC grants it live access. It then shows HMRC's code and message next to a plain explanation, and keeps HMRC's reply against every submission.
