Question

Employment allowance in standard payroll

I changed to QBs standard payroll in Feb 20 and set up entitlement to employment allowance.  However QBs showed that I had claimed employment allowance in Feb and March which I had not.  I claimed employment allowance at the beginning of the 2020/21 tax year although accounts and settings did not show the correct amount.

A QBs accountant subsequently told me to turn off employment allowance in Dec 20 and send an EPS to show this.  This month (March) HMRC showed that I owed £4000 (which I did not) so I reset entitlement to employment allowance which has cleared the debt with HMRC.

So my question is - will QBs automatically assume that I will claim employment allowance when I run the March payroll?

Hello Dimo60, To confirm you reset in March (by turning off and on) but you have not ran a payroll since then or sent an EPS but it has updated on HMRC to show the claim?

I have reset Employment Allowance by turning off and on and sent EPS to HMRC stating that I have turned on EA.  This action cleared the outstanding amount of £4000 that had been showing on HMRC site.

So when I run the March payroll will QBs automatically assume that I have claimed EA even though I am not entitled to it?
