The ATWD (Alcohol Tobacco Warehousing Declarations) allows the submission of declarations of Excise Duty payments to HMRC electronically for Alcohol or Tobacco goods in the format of W5, W5D, W6, and W6D
The ATWD Processing functionality is for:
View the documents
Submit documents to HMRC or mark those as manually transmitted
Dealing with any rejections of W5, W5D, W6, W6D files and re-submitting to HMRC
Review Historical Entries
The sections in this page are very generic as they both provide similar functionality to each other and whilst Day End deals with sending W5/W5D/W6/W6D the Period end deals with the W1 (W1a previously)
Documents
This section allows you to view documents which are waiting to be submitted, it is only used if you want to print a document out, if you plan to manually submit the document it is a good idea to print a copy out and then file this away with the amendment in case you are audited by HMRC
Submissions
If you need to Manually Submit W5Ds via the HMRC Gateway, you can indicate that they have already been manually submitted by selecting the W5Ds using the Checkbox to the left of each row and clicking the Manually Submitted button.
Failures
Any ATWD submissions that fail can be seen in the Failures screen.
A failure with the reason “Authentication Failed: Invalid Credentials” normally means you are trying to defer VAT to a VAT Number where you do not have authorisation to do so. Either a C1027 does not exist or Customs have not properly entered it on their system.
