| Nil payment employer payment summary (EPS) |
Description | You may register as an employer, but currently have no employees. You still need to notify HMRC that no payment is due. You do this by sending a nil payment EPS at the end of the tax month. CAUTION: You may have active employees, but not be paying them in a particular pay run. You must still process your payroll and submit an FPS. To do this, in the Edit Pay section you select the Exclude Employee check box. |
Resolution | To submit a nil payment EPSYou must process a blank pay run. This confirms you paid no employees this period. - Go to the Pay Runs tab, and select Process Pay Run.
- Confirm the pay date is correct.
TIP: As there aren’t any employees, a note appears on each step of the Process Pay Run process to confirm this. - Select Next whenever prompted.
- When prompted, select Complete Pay Run and the FPS submits.
- To now submit the nil payment EPS, select the Summary tab.
- Within the HMRC Real Time Information (RTI) Scheme area, select Actions.
- Select Record Payment / EPS.
- Follow the on-screen instructions, ensuring all values are nil, then submit the EPS.
