Last submission of the year

Karishma Updated by Karishma

The last submission of the tax year that you perform must have ‘this is the last submission of the tax year’ ticked. You can enable this selection in two different areas, the Employer Payment Summary (EPS), or the last Full Payment submission (FPS) if you do not require an EPS. These can be accessed from the Month end and the Payroll cycle menus on the Payroll toolbar respectively. 

 If you incorrectly state it is the last submission within an FPS submission, then it cannot be undone within Payroll and you will need to contact HMRC. 

 It is recommended that you use the EPS method for the following reasons: 

  • It allows payroll to be processed quicker as it can be performed after all your payrolls have completed and it can be submitted up until the 19th April. 
  • It allows for any corrections that need to be made to FPS submissions. 
  • You may not be sure which will be the last submissions because you may have multiple payrolls 
  • You can avoid the problem of forgetting to tick ‘This is the last submission of the tax year’ in the last FPS.

Below are examples of where the checkboxes are in each dialogue box:
