How to correct for a previous year

Karishma Updated by Karishma

If any amendments are required for the old tax year after April 19th you will not be able to send an FPS and will instead need to perform an RTI – Year-end Correction FPS submission. This is used to tell HMRC if you’ve repaid or deducted the balance from your employee(s).  

Please note that this must be done from the year end copy of the data that you were previously advised to make. 

Once you have applied the required amendment to the employee(s) within Payroll, run the EYU check report from the Year end menu in the Payroll toolbar. 

You need to ensure that there are no errors and it is advised that you review any warnings. 

Once cleared, you can then perform an RTI – Year-end Correction FPS submission by selecting RTI – Year-end correction FPS from the same menu. 

Payroll will then calculate the difference between what you originally deducted and the correct amount for the amendments, them submit this to HMRC.
