PSA6040 - Using the Employer Compliance System for PSAs

Recording a PSA Charge on ECS

PSA2040 explains what action to take when the employer provides you with a calculation of the amounts payable on a PSA and how to create a charge through SAFE.

To record a PSA charge on ECS you must take the following action

• go into the ECS window PAYE Settlement Agreement
• select all the items showing status ‘Included’
• click on charge

On the next screen

• enter the number of employees at each rate band
• the item value per person, tab to the next field

The total item charge will now be displayed

• where the PSA includes more than one item you must repeat this process

On the next screen

• click on update to finalise the agreement click on update
• enter the date of settlement in the format DDMMYY and select ‘Payslip’.

A charge reference will be displayed but this is superfluous as the PSA charge has been created through SAFE.
