HMRC Live validation service  (Limited companies)

This option is available from the Accounts Validation Report screen. The service processes and checks the accounts in exactly the same way as that for a full CT600 submission, but does not record it to HMRC's backend system. Any errors are reported to the user, otherwise a success response is received. 

To initialise the software to use this option, go to the User Options screen and click the HMRC 'Live' validation administration button and complete the four data items.

You can use this validation service for any company with a Unique Tax Reference (UTR).. This can be entered from the Clients Directory screen. Click the Edit button and enter the company's UTR.
