Enter statutory funding from HMRC

If the cash to make statutory parental payments isn't available when you need to pay employees, you can apply for an advance.

This covers statutory maternity, paternity, adoption or shared parental pay from HMRC.

TIP: To read more, go to Gov.UK.

After you receive statutory funding, enter the amount you received in Sage 50 Payroll. This then appears on the bottom of your P32, however it's not included in the P32 amount owed to HMRC. Manually calculate the total you owe by adding the statutory funding to the P32 total liability.

Enter statutory funding details

You can ▼ enter details of funding received from HMRC in your company settings.

Statutory funding and the P32

The statutory payments paid to your employees still appear on the P32, in the bottom section as normal, and reduce your liability to HMRC.

Add this statutory funding figure back onto the Total Amount Due figure, to repay this to HMRC.

Submit the Employer Payment Summary (EPS)

When you receive statutory funding, submit an EPS to HMRC as normal. You don't need to amend the EPS figures to account for any statutory funding.

Report the original figures for any statutory payments you paid to your employees. Include how much you can recover as normal from the statutory payments.
