PAYE27020 - employer records: maintain schemes: maintain scheme start date
A scheme start date is entered on to the employer record in
Function EMPLOYER SET UP. If it is discovered that the date was
incorrect you may want to change that date. You can see the current
scheme start date by using Function VIEW EMPLOYER SCHEME HISTORY.
Change to an earlier date
The scheme start date can be changed to an earlier date by
entering the earlier date using Function AMEND EMPLOYER SCHEME
HISTORY. When the date is amended to an earlier date than currently
held the intervening years will be created on the computer.
A full review of the following is needed to ensure the
correct details are held on the employer record
- Employer indicators
- Scheme type
- Earlier years, ensuring that correct employer annual returns are issued
Note: Where the scheme type is PSC or XP you must enter a ‘Date Notified’, which is the date you received the information or select one of the following check boxes
- ‘Date Not Known’ - where you do not know the date you received the information
Or
- ‘Date Not Applicable’ – where the update is being made from information not received from the employer
Change to a later date
The start date can be changed to a later date by entering the
later date using Function AMEND EMPLOYER SCHEME HISTORY.
Note: You must not amend a scheme start date to a
later date where a return is held for that year.
