We have neared the end of processing payrolls with a Payment Date in Month 07 falling between 06 October and 05 November. Attention turns to ensuring that the EPS is completed, with the ‘Window’ open for Month 07 submissions between 20 October and 19 November. However, the Window for NIL submissions does not open until 06 November, closing at midnight on 19 November 2013. In this regard, we recommend reading our article dated 10 October 2013 concerning the ‘EPS Window’, i.e. the window in which the EPS should be submitted to ensure that it is taken into account against the appropriate month’s liabilities – see Further Information.
Note that HMRC have issued a Direction Notice regarding Examiners or Electoral payrolls that are currently excluded from returning in real time. RTI submissions will be required for these payrolls from 06 April 2014.
Just a word on the amended data items that will apply from April 2014 – HMRC have published their ‘Guidance’ on these on their Website.
