PAYE73026 - PAYE operation: simplified deduction schemes: increase in pay above PAYE threshold (Action Guide)


Where you receive notification of an increase in pay above the threshold for PAYE, follow steps 1 - 7 below.

For details of how to access any of the COP functions use the [Index of Functions] button on the left of the screen.

  1. Use COP Function TI to look for the main source taxpayer record
  2. If you find it, use COP Movements Function MA (as though you had form P45(3)) to move responsibility for the record
  3. If you do not find it, use COP Movements Function MS to set up a taxpayer record
  4. Complete deduction card P12. (The Employer section will have prepared a card P12 and sent it to the PAYE section if they have set up the scheme for this employee)
  • Enter the code. Use code suffix ‘T’
  • Enter the Week 1 or Month 1 free pay for the code
  • Strike through the quarters that have entirely expired
  1. Use COP Function CD to set the signals
  • MCOEMP
  • TSFX (to ensure the code suffix ‘T’ is not changed by the computer)
  • POTA
  1. If the employer has other liable employees
  • Send deduction card P12 to the employer by first class post
  1. If the employer does not have other liable employees (the Employer section will have set up the scheme because this employee has started employment)
  • Pass the completed card P12 to your Employer section
  • To issue by first class post
