Submit EPS

Matt Jennings Updated by Matt Jennings

To begin, select the Submit EPS option from the radio buttons. This will expand the box, with some form fields. Based on the current date it will prepopulate the Tax Year and Tax Month, but these can be changed.

You can select one or multiple companies to submit from the Select companies dropdown.

If you change the tax year to an earlier year this will enforce submitting for month 12. There are also options for sending the Last submission of the year, Include bank details for refunds, No payments this tax month (No FPS due) and for Future period of inactivity.

This will default to sending as a live submission, but you also have the option of sending it as a test submission to check everything sends okay.

If your password is stored against the PAYE reference, then when you click Submit EPS this will send automatically. If it isn’t you will be presented with the following asking for your password:

If you are submitting for multiple companies with the same credentials, this input just one time, as the companies you are entering for are displayed at the top of the box as can be seen above.

If there is a single entry, once you have entered the password then you can click Save & Proceed which will save the password and submit the EPS. Alternatively, you can come out of this screen by clicking Cancel.

If there are multiple separate passwords to enter, clicking Save & Proceed will take you onto the next one, then when the final one is entered it will submit for all. There will also be a Skip button for all entries if you want to skip a particular company but want to submit the remainder.

Once you click Save & Proceed, it will submit the EPS. Once completed, the screen will update with the details of the submission, and if successful will let you download the EPS. The log file will also be available.

Please note that if you navigate away from the page, the report will no longer be available to download.
