Just taken on my first payroll client and as there is only 4 employees I thought I would use HMRCs PAYE software. The previous person had been using a spreadsheet to calculate the payroll. My question is can I post year to date figures for the employees into HMRCs software? I have downloaded it but find any place where it asks for this.
I use HMRC's software for about half a dozen of my small client payrolls, although I'm no software wizard.
Do you have a period by period breakdown of their YTD info? As there are only 4 employees you could re-enter each pay period as if it were you that had processed it with the HMRC software. This wouldn't take too long (unless they are weekly paid??).
I'll post again if I have any brighter ideas ........... or you could phone the HMRC software help line?
Without stating the obvious, you'll need it to be logged as current employment rather than previous earnings with another employer which would have been straightforward!
Thanks Tori, that's a good idea about re entering each pay period. They are paid monthly so it wouldn't take that long. Just a bit nervous about arriving at the other persons figures, they did it on an excel spreadsheet (ho hum)
