How do we enter the statutory maternity pays subsidy from government into quickbooks?

Hi accounts212

 

Thanks for joining in on this thread. You can record this using a bank deposit (+ New > Bank deposit), selecting the date and then the account the money was received to under 'Account', and scrolling to 'add funds to this deposit', and change the 'Amounts are' drop-down to 'No VAT.

 

If you have HMRC set up as a supplier you can select this under 'Received from', otherwise you can leave this field blank. Under 'Account' enter the account you want to post this to (if you're unsure on the category, we'd recommend running this past your accountant/bookkeeper) and then the total amount and save & close. 

 

Get back to us below of you have any queries!

We can record them in the the employee's profile, hockjintan. 

 

Let's set up the Employee's maternity leave first before we run payroll. Let me show you how: 

  1. Go to the Employees menu. 
  2. Click the employee's name on leave. 
  3. Select the Actions button and click Employee's Leave
  4. Choose and select Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP).
  5. The fields that have asterisk are needed to filled-in and you can edit the rest. 
  6. Click Save

 

You can now run payroll and review its details. I also have articles that you want check on how to manage your employees

 

Just tag my name if you have further questions. Thanks!

I have just changed from QB desktop to online standard.  I have entered the SMP as you have said but when I run the payrol it doesn't show any SMP or SSP

Hello, @StanleySec.

 

I suggest checking the dates of the SSP or SMP. If the dates are after the payroll period, then it won't show up when running payroll. However, I encourage reaching out to our Support Team to check and review this securely. Also, they'll be able to help you add or enter the SMP accordingly.

 

To contact support, check out this link for your reference.

 

Also, you may consider checking these articles for more details about SMP:

 

Let me know if you have any other questions. I'm a post away to help. Have a good day!

Hello Danster75, 

 

Thank you for posting on this thread, 

 

Can we ask which payroll it is you are using in Quickbooks, is it Advanced payroll or our Standard payroll?
