Submit an Employer Payment Summary for a previous tax year

Created on  | Last modified on 

Summary

How to submit an Employer Payment Summary (EPS) for a previous tax year in Sage 50 Payroll.

Description

You need to submit an EPS to inform HMRC of values that the full payment submission (FPS) doesn't include.

These include Statutory payments recovered and any related NI compensation values, CIS deductions suffered and Apprenticeship Levy values.

To submit for a previous tax year, submit one EPS against the last day of the tax year.

The EPS submits cumulative values, so one submission for the end of the year submits totals for the tax year.

NOTE:

The earliest your software can submit an EPS for is the 2020/2021 tax year. For 2019/2020 and before, check with HMRC if you can use their basic tools as an alternative.
