Hello, so if I have any EPS submissions to make I always wait until after the 5th following the month end and then submit between 6-19th. Must I do this or can I actually send my EPS submissions at the same time as FPS submissions? It would just be more practical.
Eg, payroll month ends and is paid 30th/31st - Can I submit EPS submission along with FPS on or before those dates?
Also, whilst asking - CIS300 submissions - must I again wait until after 5th but no later than 19th to submit?
Thanks

I always send my EPS at the same time as the FPS. I can't answer regarding the CIS300 as I don't have any.
It depends. I must admit, I always send in the EPS claiming Employer's Allowance with the first FPS. Never been a problem.
But if you've got a weekly paid employee on SMP, you'd need to submit four or five EPSs a month. Which might not work so well.
So it depends why you're submitting them and whether there's a possibility of another one being due.
CIS 300 - fine to submit early if you KNOW there'll be no more payments before the 5th. If you did it on a regular basis, it might raise an eyebrow and prompt a visit at HMRC. Or it might not. The odd occasion, prior to going on holiday, perhaps, won't cause a problem.
