Why are HMRC insisting that I have underpaid on employer NI contributions?

I have or at least thought I had ticked all the right boxes to claim employment allowance, the P32 report

shows the employment allowance as being deducted. Can anybody explain what I have done wrong,

its like sitting in a lonely cave in the dark trying to speak to somebody at HMRC :smileysad:

Hi Beet, thanks for joining the QuickBooks Community - we'd be happy to check this further for you. 🙂

 

Does the most recent EPS show as successfully submitted on your payroll tax dashboard? You can access this by clicking Taxes > Payroll tax. The EPS is a cumulative report and notifies HMRC that EA is being claimed.

Hi Georgia, 

The only tax on my dashboard is for VAT....have looked at payroll but can't see anything "payroll tax"

I know EPS is cumulative, I have claimed it for the last eight years or so, never had a problem before

just cant understand what has been done differently this time.........or rather which buttons i have or have not

pressed :smileyfrustrated:
