Verification failure

Details entered on to the tax credits computer are verified by the computer to confirm that the information

  • is in the correct format

  • matches details already held on the computer

  • matches details on other related computers

When the tax credits computer identifies a discrepancy these are known as verification failures.

These failures are entered on the Verification Failures work list.

The tax credits computer will also identify details that require a manual review - for example, residency queries. These cases will also be entered on the work list.
