I received a "Notice of penalty assessment" from HMRC for late FPS submissions. RTI data is late.

We pay employees around 20th of each month and have enabled RTI. The employee's payment date is always set to the end of the month, so they are always paid "early". However the RTI FPS data seems to send data from the previous month each time. So HMRC are always getting last month's data each time.

We need to send "this month's" data. How can we fix this?

We are being fined for late submissions.

I don't want this to happen to you again, @Anthony60. Thus, you'll no longer be able to receive a penalty because I know how important money is in the operation of a business.

 

Thanks for the informative information. I'll make sure that the RTI will send the tax reporting immediately moving forward. 

 

With this, I'd recommend contacting our Customer Care Team. Our experts can dig deeper into your QuickBooks settings to know what causes the RTI to send late.

Hi Anthony60, this may mean that the pay periods are set up incorrectly - can we confirm the pay period (start and end date) and payment date as this appears on the most recent payslip? 🙂

Thanks for the helpful suggestion. When I check a payslip for November 2021, it shows:

Period starting: 1/11/2021

Period ending: 30/11/2021

Date paid: 30/11/2021

 

However the payslip was generated on 19/11/2021 and staff were paid on that day too. However the RTI data logs indicate that FullPaymentSubmissionRequest data was not sent until 06/12/2021. This RTI contained data with: "PmtDate": "2021-11-30".

 

It seems that QBO is not sending the RTI FPS immediately when the Pay Run is executed.

It eventually sends the RTI, but it is too late and we receive a penalty from HMRC. I hope that someone can help us to fix this.

 

Best regards
