Employee Allowance

Hi Andie, thanks for your post

Information on the Employment Allowance is submitted to HMRC via the employer payment summary (EPS), this will become available to submit between the 6th - 19th of the following tax month and is a cumulative report containing all info from April - date. 

You can see how to submit this using either the Standard and Advanced payroll by clicking the appropriate link - get back to us below if you have any Q's!

Thanks so much! I have amended the settings to send this report automatically.

Now should I send it off manually for the pay period that I just sent to HMRC? I have gone to the EPS report but when I click 'Run Report' it is blank. 

Hi AAlan, that is great to hear, can you please try logging out of your account and back in again and try do it again does it still show up blank or is there now information showing in it? Let us know how you get on. 

Hi Ashleigh,

I left it for the weekend and have logged back in but am still getting nothing when I run the report. It is blank and has no information filled in.

Hi AAllan The report won't show any information in relation to employment allowance. If you have unlocked the payruns, ensured that the employment allowance is selected, the employment allowance is showing on the P32, and submitted the EPS for April-May and then finlaised the payruns but not re-submitted them, we recommed that you login to your HMRC PAYE account to see if the information has been updated.

Hi John,

It isn't that there is no information about the employment allowance, there isn't any information at all. About anything.

This was the first pay run we have done as a company and I have selected the employment allowance in the settings. It is clearly shown as being deducted on the P32 report but the total on our HMRC account does not reflect this. I have changed the settings to send the report automatically going forward.

My question is should I just click 'Submit EPS' or is there an error I need to resolve first?

John, this hasn't answered my question.

Hi AAllan There isn't an error to resolve, as your HMRC account isn't taking into account the employment allowance this will be due to them not receiving the EPS. We'd be grateful if you can unlock the payruns and submit the relevant EPS as per our previous instructions.
