Hi i have online payroll and i am a small employer, i have small employers check box ticked, HMRC are still expecting me to pay the employer NI contributions. it would appear QuickBooks is not sending and EPS reports and i cant find a way to make it, it does this every year but other years i was able to send a EPS manually, since the update you have removed the manual submission options. i am now getting threats of HMRC and really need to send a EPS so they know i get small employer relief.

Looked in the help, but it looks like the older format, nothing like mine ! and the option is not there

Thanks Allister.

I'm here to assist you with your EPS report submission, Allister.

 

The option to manually send EPS reports for payroll core is unavailable. The EPS will be generated automatically every 6th of the month and can be submitted before the 19th  of the tax month.

 

You need to send an EPS if:

 

  • If no payments to employees are made within a pay period
  • If you want to recover statutory payments
  • When the company has suffered Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) deductions (this only applies to limited companies)
  • When there’s a claim for Employment Allowance, or you want to withdraw your claim
  • If you need to calculate the amount of the Apprenticeship Levy due

 

To prevent the threat, you can utilize the Basic payee tools to perform most payroll tasks and report the tax and National Insurance contributions deducted from your employees' pay to HMRC.

 

You can refer to the Basic PAYE Tools user guide for assistance. It includes screen examples and detailed instructions.

 

In addition, you can check this article to see all your previous FPS and EPS submissions from the Payroll Tax Centre: View submitted FPS and EPS filings in QuickBooks Online Standard Payroll.

 

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about submitting the EPS or need further assistance with QuickBooks. I'm here to help in any way I can.
