How so I close a payroll scheme and inform HMRC in Basic Payroll?

The only help I can find is 2 years old and says to use HMRC Basic Tools - surely that has changed?

How so I close a payroll scheme and inform HMRC in Basic Payroll?

It's good to see you here in the Community, @gshiels.

 

You don't have an option to close a payroll scheme in QuickBooks Online Payroll. You'll just need to stop running it after marking all employees as leavers and submitting the RTI. Then, you can use the 

Basic PAYE Tools of HMRC. For more information, feel free to check out this link: https://www.gov.uk/basic-paye-tools.

 

You can also read these articles if you need more assistance in managing payroll:

 

 

Should you need further information about the payroll scheme, you can leave a comment below. I'm still open to your replies, @gshiels.

Hi Mark

Thanks for getting back to me.  Why doesn't Quickbooks have this functionality?

Hi there, @gshiels

 

Having the option to close the payroll scheme and notify HMRC is a great idea to add to our program.

 

Added features in QuickBooks are based on the request submitted by customers like you to our developers. Right now, this functionality isn't offered yet. 

 

I can see how this option would be helpful for you and your business. Therefore, let me take note of this as a suggestion to improve your QuickBooks experience.

 

At the moment, let's utilize the HMRC's Basic PAYE Tools. This is a free payroll software from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) for businesses with fewer than 10 employees.

 

We must always meet our customer's needs. While we continue to make improvements, I want you to be updated with the latest QuickBooks news and product release through our Firm of the Future site. This is where we share recent happenings and future developments, such as updates to newly added features.

 

You're always welcome to comment below if you have other payroll concerns or inquiries. I'll be around to help. Take care.
