Hi isabel-bidwellac, are you using the Standard or the Advanced payroll within QuickBooks? 

 

Currently, it's only possible to cease the scheme using the Advanced payroll, and customers using the Standard payroll would need to inform HMRC of this using the free Basic Tools software. 👩‍💻 

 

Edit * In Advanced  Payroll you can record the ceasing of the scheme through EPS as shown in the steps below

  1.  

    1. Go to Business overview, select Reports (Take me there).
    2. In Payroll HMRC Reports, select Employer Payment Summary (EPS).
    3. Select Submit EPS.
    4. Tick Final EPS for the tax year.
    5. Tick This is the final EPS because the PAYE scheme has ceased.
    6. Select the date the scheme ceased on.
    7. Select Submit EPS.

I can share some information about closing your PAYE scheme, @isabel-bidwellac.

 

You can use the HMRC's basic PAYE tools to close your PAYE scheme. To guide you with the process, refer to the following link: https://www.gov.uk/basic-paye-tools. 

 

See this article for more information about submitting your payroll tax information to HMRC: Turn on RTI reporting to HMRC in QuickBooks Online Standard Payroll. 

 

If there's anything else that I can help you with your account, please let me know in the reply section below. I'll be always around ready to lend a helping hand. Keep safe and have a wonderful day!
