Just when I think I'm in control of my monthly Wage Journal.....
We outsource our payroll - the P32's for month 1 and 2 shows the NIC-ERS under 'Funding Received' therefore reducing the Total Due to HMRC. The Director's have obviously agreed something with the Accountants and not told me. They are unavailable and I need to close off the accounts.
So, do I ignore NIC-ERS completely in the debits or, should I credit another code instead of 2210 please?
I had something similar last week. The outsourced payroll took advantage of some sort of employment allowance of £2,000.00, leaving 2210 with a balance, after journals and payment.
I did a journal to move it to Gross NIC, one of the P & L codes that I can not quite remember now...
