How do I close PAYE for good? HMRC wants you to tick a box ‘Final submission because scheme ceased’ . I can't see how to do that?

Hi Helen, thanks for posting on the Community

We'll be happy to help you in closing your PAYE scheme in QuickBooks Online. 

On Advanced Payroll, you'll need to record the ceasing of the scheme through an Employer Payment Summary (EPS). To do so, follow these steps:

1. Go to Reports (Take me there)
2. Under HMRC reporting, select Employer Payment Summary (EPS).
3. Choose the tax year and then select Run report.
4. Select Submit EPS.
5. Select the tax period that you are submitting for.
6. If this is your final EPS because the business has ceased, tick Final EPS because the PAYE scheme has ceased.
7. Select the date the scheme ceased on.
8. Select Submit EPS.

Thanks for reaching Intuit support. We'll be here if you have further questions or require additional guidance.
