More RTI stuff

More RTI stuff

Didn't find your answer?

Hi all,

Just a question about what to do if an error is made on the final RTI submission for 14-15. Generally before if information was omitted because it wasn't supplied it would just be updated in the year to date figures on the next submission. I have a situation now where an RTI has been submitted for March and then been informed that there was actually a new employee for the month afterwards. This obviously can't just be added in on the year to date figures as this was the final month - what can I do to rectify this situation? Thanks in advance.

Month after March
By the month after March, do you mean April or later in March? If it's 6th April or later it's next year (with apologies if I'm stating the obvious).

Sorry for not being clear

Sorry I meant the client let us know after the RTI had been submitted that there was a new employee, but they started in the month of March. HMRC say to send an additional FPS but I know that idea is not recommended on here. I think I'll just have to do that though unless anyone has any other ideas.

Just re-send it

You can send an FPS again for the same tax period, the second will just replace the first. At least that's the RTI position - I believe some software may not let you resend it. If you can't send it again you'll have to send an EYU next month.

 

PS: Now I see what you mean by the month afterwards - sorry.

Yes, but ...

Has the new employee actually been paid in March?  Have you re-run the March payroll to include the payment?  If not, there is no point in re-submitting the FPS just to report a new starter.  If you have re-run the payroll to include a payment to the new employee, I agree that you should simply submit another FPS.

Incidentally, have you notified that the original March FPS was the final submission of the year?
