2. Employment Allowance 2017-2018

If you are an eligible employer the employment allowance is remaining at £3,000 a year from April 2017. If you aready claim the allowance and will continue to claim you will just need to continue to make the appropriate deductions from the amount of Class1 secondary National Insurance Contributions that you would have paid to HMRC. 

If you have been eligible to claim the 'Employment Allowance'  and have not yet submitted your claim for 2016-2017, you will need to go to 'Amend Employer Details' for the payroll data set through which you wish to claim the allowance and tick the 'Employment Allowance' option. Note: if you are operating more than one payroll data set, you should only claim through one data set.

Your final Calculate Monthly Remittance for the year will then include your claim for the allowance. You will then need to set 'Employment Allowance claim' to 'Yes' when submitting your final end of year EPS to advise HMRC that you are making the claim.
