Composite Payments – (One Payment with Multiple Payslips)

Where you post payments to the Accounts Office it is best to send a single cheque with a single payslip. But if you need to send a composite payment for more than one client on a single cheque, please ensure there is a separate personalised payslip for each taxpayer. Where the composite payment is for a partnership, we need the individual personalised payslips so we know how to split the payment between the partners. Also please check that the individual amounts for each taxpayer add up to the total of the cheque.

If you submit a schedule, please provide both the name and Unique Tax Reference (UTR) of each individual on the schedule. Only provide the National Insurance number if the individual has not been set up with a UTR.
If you intend to pay by cheque(s), you must provide no more than 99 Payslips for each cheque, ensuring that each bundle totals the cheque as any discrepancies are not easily identified.

If using the pre-printed payslip from the statement and a different amount is being paid to that in the amount box strike through the incorrect amount and write the correct amount above the box.

No later than one week before the payment date, fax the schedule direct to Sarah Doherty on (01274 539599) total the schedule where appropriate in blocks of no more than 99 to the value of the cheque(s).

The most secure way to pay is electronically, when you pay, you must include a covering letter and a copy of the schedule confirming that a faxed copy has already been provided.

If you have any questions telephone Sarah Doherty on 01274 539538.
