Review ECS for the amount of the negative benefit and check which tax year it relates to. (Remember this negative amount is produced as a result of a mileage allowance relief optional reporting scheme (MARORS) being captured on ECS as a negative amount. More information about MARORS can be found at EIM31390)

Update IABD for the relevant year only with the negative amount as an allowance by updating Job Expenses and submit. For information about how to enter details on IABD and submit refer to PAYE130020
