Payroll questions using payroll manager
Permalink  

Hi I've taken on a new payroll client and am using payroll manager and have been given everything I need from the previous accountant. Setting up Payroll Manager part way through the year ad inputting the figures to date.

I've come across a few things that I don't have a clue about.

Firstyly there is a box on the P11 for '50% tax limit' - I haven't a clue what this is! and it's on quite a few people's P11's. Can anyone tell me what this is and how I enter it? or does it even need to go in at all?

I have attached a scan of the P11 (scan 001) and a screen picture of where I am typing the year to date figures in (capture1)

I've seen it before a long time ago when payroll was all manual but I can't for the life of me remember what it is all about - unless it's something to do with HMRC collected tax owed through your tax code?

 

Thanks in advance for any help on this.

 

Rachel

Also please can anyone tell me how to set the pay date - it's going to be the last Tuesday of every month. Sorry for all the questions, I've only been using this software for a couple of months and just for 2 companies with very basic payroll.

 

Thanks again

Hi Rachel
The 50% thing is due to a change that has happened or is planned that HMRc would extended the 50% regulatory limit to all tax codes so that the maximum amount of an employees gross pay that will be liable to income tax will not exceed 50%. Sorry being a bit vague as to whether its been implemented or not - best if you can do some digging, although I would start with moneysoft first as they are ultra helpful. If its a requirement it might be something thats just done behind the scenes on their payroll hence why there is no box to enter it.

The the first Tuesday - let me log on and check - will come back to you in a bit. I know its do-able just cant remember how!

Hi again Rachel

Go to Tools --> Pay dates--> click on 'set monthly'---> click on 'select all payday' (right hand side, bottom box) - this then allows you to choose first Tuesday.

Hi,

Just a little side note: beware setting monthly pay dates as it automatically sets it the for the first, second, last (insert day) after the 6th of each month. You may have to manually override the dates. I have had a similar issue with setting up the second Friday and the last Thursday of the month. to confirm you have all the right dates go to the RTI and see what the filing dates are.

Yes I did after I noticed that the RTI dates didn't match up with the actual pay dates the client wanted.
