axis payroll User Guide Supplement March 2017

6. Year End Procedures

 Printer Friendly Version

Ensure that you have installed your axis payroll Legislation Update before proceeding with the year end procedures. Please ensure that a FULL security backup is taken of the payroll data BEFORE installing the axis payroll Legislation Update and again before running the last function ‘Year End Processing’.

You also need to ensure that you have:

  • Run your final period end
  • Run 'Calculate Monthly Remittance'
  • Checked that your last submitted FPS is correct.
  • Created and successfully submitted your final 'RTI Employer Payment Summary' (EPS) if this is your only payroll frequency and payroll data set or is the payroll frequency/payroll data set from which you have chosen to submit combined figures. You will need to submit a final year end EPS even if you have no statutory payments to recover in order to advise HMRC that you are making the final submission for the year.

Please note: HMRC accept the 'final submission for the year flag' in either the last submitted FPS file for the year or in the final EPS file. axis payroll only supports submission of this flag in the EPS and the file is automatically flagged in the background as the final submission for the year. The 'end of year questions and declaration' are also no longer required and so have been removed from the summary. Refer to http://www.gov.uk/payroll-annual-reporting/send-your-final-payroll-report for further information.

6.3 End of Year Returns

You must ensure that you have successfully submitted an RTI Employer Payment Submission file if this is your only payroll frequency and payroll data set for the employer PAYE reference or is the payroll frequency/payroll data set from which you have chosen to submit combined figures before proceeding to use the Year End Processing function. You will need to submit a final year end EPS even if you have no statutory payments to recover in order to advise HMRC that you are making the final submission for the year.

Please note: HMRC accept the 'final submission for the year flag' in either the last submitted FPS file for the year or in the final EPS file. axis payroll only supports submission of this flag in the EPS and the file is automatically flagged in the background as the final submission for the year. The 'end of year questions and declaration' are also no longer required and so have been removed from the summary.
