"I called the "Payment Enquiry" helpline today and registered my scheme as annual. Relatively straightforward - only need to stipulate which month the annual payment is to be made so that HMRC know not to expect FPS's in the other months. Advice is to mark the annual FPS as the final submission for the year and no other FPS/EPS submissions will be required for the other months (or so I was advised!)"
I posted the above comments in a few days ago in relation to a question regarding an annual payroll scheme so am slightly embarrassed to find myself stuck at the first step.
I've created the 2014/15 (Month 1) annual payment FPS's for each of the two employee directors in Basic Tools and they are sitting as Outstanding Submissions.
The trouble is I don't know where to indicate that these are the final submissions for the year! I couldn't see any checkbox when I was creating the FPSs and I'm too nervous to see if there's an option to select after pressing the "Send all outstanding submissions" button in case there isn't! Any advice much appreciated.

rti final
you are challenging the credulity of their amstrad....
you can't possibly know it is a final return until 6.4.15 for 2014/15, only then will the Gateway be open for such submissions?
i suggest you file your (peculiar) submission for april 14 now, and then file a zero return for march 15, and all will be fine.
i suspect in reality it is a different issue you have.
It doesn't sound right to me
Apparently the correct procedure is to create the payment FPS's (in my case one for each of the two directors) and then select "Final submission for the tax year" from the main Employers Details menu and complete the year end questions. All three FPS may then be submitted together. This sound right to me -
If you pay the two directors in different months - which is the only reason why you would need one FPS for each of them - it is not an Annual Scheme. Submission of the second FPS will automatically cancel the scheme's annual status and you will have to file nil FPSs or EPSs for all subsequent months.
