Known Issue: Manually entered NI year to dates for directors not included in FPS
Description

Entering or amending directors' National Insurance (NI) year to date values (YTD), won't be included on the FPS. For example, if you start using Sage 50 Payroll part way through the tax year.

This issue also occurs if an employee with YTD values becomes a director later in the tax year

Workaround

Process the affected individual from the start of the tax year, without entering year to date values.

If you've already processed a director after manually adjusting their YTD values, reprocess them from the beginning of the tax year. To do this:

  1. Back up your data.
  2. Select the director, click Tasks then Rollback.
  3. Click Next, check the right name is selected then click Next.
  4. Select the earliest pay period you need to make corrections from and click Next, then Finish.
  5. Click Yes then click OK.
  6. Double-click the director on your employee list to open their record.
  7. Click the Employment tab, then the YTD Values button.
  8. Click Director's NIC, check the Date Directorship Began is correct and that all values are 0.00.
  9. Click OK.
  10. Click Save then click Close.
  11. Reprocess the director from the earliest period required back up to date, and send an FPS adjustment.  

    NOTE: If the issue occurred in a previous tax year, you need to send an earlier year update (EYU), using the Submit an adjustment to HMRC for a previous tax year guide.
