HMRC only accepts your EPS for each tax month until the 19th of the next month. To set which month you're submitting the EPS for in your software, set your process date within the dates HMRC accept submissions as below: | Submit for tax month: | EPS submission accepted from/Process date set to | EPS submission deadline/Process date set to | | Month 1 (6 April-5 May) | 20 April | 19 May | | Month 2 (6 May-5 June) | 20 May | 19 June | | Month 3 (6 June-5 July) | 20 June | 19 July | | Month 4 (6 July-5 August) | 20 July | 19 August | | Month 5 (6 August-5 September) | 20 August | 19 September | | Month 6 (6 September-5 October) | 20 September | 19 October | | Month 7 (6 October-5 November) | 20 October | 19 November | | Month 8 (6 November-5 December) | 20 November | 19 December | | Month 9 (6 December-5 January) | 20 December | 19 January | | Month 10 (6 January-5 February) | 20 January | 19 February | | Month 11 (6 February-5 March) | 20 February | 19 March | | Month 12 (6 March-5 April) | 20 March | 5 April | If you don't submit your EPS by the deadline for a tax month, you can submit an EPS when you process the next period. Each EPS includes year to date values, so HMRC receive the correct totals for the tax year to date.
