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 shows HMRC's code and message next to a plain explanation, and keeps HMRC's reply against every submission.
