PAYE end of year - help

sally · #1 (**permalink**) 26-03-2008, 10:29

I have just logged in to the HM Customs site to start getting ready to input end of year PAYE details next week. Am totally baffled.

The employee list still shows employee's that left in 2006 and 2007 but does not show their leaving details. I sent their P45's in the post and only use the gateway for year end.

If I fill out their P45 details now and submit them surely this will simply be duplicate content but if I don't fill them out they will still show as employees. When they receive the P45 and input the details why doesn't this update my employee details list?

The list also doesn't show the new starters, as I also posted in their P45/P46.

Help

Sally

The HMRC website payroll service doesn't get updated by sending in paper forms.

To make the changes you want for the employee that has left, click on that employee on the Employee List screen, then use the options at the bottom of the next screen ('Maintain employee details', or 'Remove employee from list'). Do this instead of filing another P45 over the internet.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Peter, so is that list basically for my info rather than for HMRC use?

Also have tried removing employee's but it says I have created new forms for them so won't let me delete them (even though I haven't created any new forms.

No problem if they don't use the list details but am worried they will think I have employees I don't have.

I wouldn't worry about having unnecessary employees on the list. As long as you do not create a P14 for them if they left before 5 April 2007, it should be fine. Do enter their leaving date on their personal details screen though.

Thanks very much Peter. I just hate this time of year, so stressful.

I have a feeling that it would not let you delete an employee if that person was employed during the year - you will still need a P14 for them. Don't know if that explains the problem.

Thanks Elaine, I am sure they left in 2006 but am just working from memory so will check on that one.
