Sage 50 Payroll

We process our payroll on a fortnightly basis, next run on Monday 22nd pay date 24th...next one would be 5th April, pay date 7th April. What date should we process our year end and do we have a week 53, very confused!

We've received an email and a message in Sage that the new update is available to install, but when we search for updates using Sage 50 Payroll it can't find any. Currently, we have version 20.02.203 running. I fear it's a symptom of a deeper underlying…

I know that you are not supposed to issue P60s for leavers and that Sage 50 Payroll omits these employees when printing these forms. However, what happens when an employee has left in Month 12 with a leaving date of 31st March 2015? They will not be receiving…

I hope I'm posting this in the right place. I've just had an email about the payroll year end update being mandatory from Monday. Does this mean I won't be able to get in my program without installing it? Why do they keep making them mandatory?

I think I am out of sync, please can someone tell me what week we should be paying this week. I have just paid my staff for last weeks work (w/c 21/3/16), which on my (manual) P32 makes it week 52. However, shouldn't this week be paid in 2015/16?…

In my experience of supporting payroll customers, week 53 is a bit of a strange phenomenon. Those people who have one, don’t want one, and some people who haven’t got one, actually want one “because my friend has one”! The simple reason we even have…

I am not sure whether I sent the EPS at the beginning of the tax year 2015/16. I have the box ticked for eligible for employment allowance and have claimed it during tax periods 1 & 2. When I run the year end report (Employer Payment Summary) it give…

It’s already here – 6 April sees the start of the 2016/2017 tax year, and with that comes a whole host of new legislation: The usual tax code changes (standard tax code is 1100L this year) An increase in employment allowance to £3000 Scottish…

Most businesses and charities have been benefitting from the Government’s employment allowance for the past couple of years now. It was introduced in 2014 and has given businesses the opportunity to reduce their employer NI contributions by up to £2000…

Are there standard global increases for tax code suffixes/prefixes for the start of the 2016/7 tax year?

We have a leaver who's last working day was in M12, but isn't due to be paid his final wage until M1. To process my year end I believe I have to process him as a leaver beforehand, so how do I go about it? The final payrun and FPS submissions have all…

I have just realised that I have submitted the final FPS for a client but forgot to submit an EPS for Month 12 to notify HMRC of SMP to be offset against the Month 12 PAYE payment. Do I need to wait until after 19th April 2016 and submit an EYU?

SAGE help on PYE says I submit my final FPS as part of the year end process. HMRC's 'annual reporting and tasks' says I tick the Final Submission box on or before the last payday of the tax year. Which one is correct?

I had a new employee start in March 2017 (and they have been paid in March17) but they did not have / can't find their P45 from their previous employer. They have re-requested a copy but still do not have it, does this stop me from producing a P60 for…

Each time I try to e-mail out the P60s the process sticks at step 5 and I have to crash out of sage payroll. Is there any way to fix this or will I have to order stationery and print them? I've been successfullye-mailing out payslips since October.

At this time of year it's common for HMRC to have delays in confirming they've received forms you're submitting through your payroll. This is perfectly normal as lots of people are trying to submit their year end returns at the same time. When you're…

Is there a pdf version of instructions available for Sage 50 Payroll year end 2018?

Completed a year end but forgot to do the CIS for 5th March - Can the year end be re ran?

Hi I have a payroll scheme with no employees for a P11d Benefit only. I do a nil eps each month. Do you still rund a year end submission ? Thanks Sarah

The payroll year end competition is now closed. We'll announce the winner week commencing the 19th of March. In the meantime, if you haven't already done so, visit our payroll year end centre to find out how to install your update. Your year end…

When I login to download the V24 Payroll year end update I'm told I dont have access to download this file. Other users on my account also have the same problem - I am the account admin

Can I run week 1 of 18/19 before doing the payroll year end? I have CIS suffered to submit via EPS but won't have the figure in time before the first pay run of 18/19?

HI, I have completed my year end and run Week 1. I have just realized that I didn't send in the Employment payment summary for month 12. Can i still send this in - obviously changing the dates to reflect last year?
