  • Month 12 EPS not submitted before final FPS for 2015/16

    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?
