Businesses reminded over final payment submissions
Newsletter issue – March 2025
HMRC is reminding business they need to be thinking about final preparations for their last Full Payment Submission (FPS) or Employer Payment Summary (EPS) of the year.
These need to be sent on or before an employees' last payday of the tax year which ends on 5 April 2025 and must state that the business is making its final submission.
In an update for companies across the UK, HMRC officials stated: 'This tells us you have sent us everything you expected to send, and we can finalise our records for you and your employees.
'Some commercial payroll software will not let you put the indicator on an FPS. If that is the case, send your last FPS and then send an EPS with the indicator ticked. You can also send an EPS with the indicator ticked if you forgot to put the indicator on your last FPS submission for the tax year.'
Businesses have also been reminded about obligations for P60s. Employees must receive a P60 by 31 May 2025 if they're still on your business's books come 5 April 2025.
What our clients say about us...
"Paul has provided accountancy services to my company for 2 years now. I can recommend Paul very highly; his skills as an accountant are highly detailed and professional and he is always available to provide advice. One aspect of the way Paul works that I greatly appreciate is a preference to meet face to face when there is a detailed conversation to be had. I personally find this more productive and is a benefit of working with a small accountancy firm that you wouldn't get with the large faceless providers."

"Paul was a referral from a family member when I started my business 2 years ago. As this was the first time I had ever run my own company I was totally clueless over the financial side of matters and was worried that I may have made mistakes in any of my accounting. I needn't have worried as after enaging Paul for a set monthly fee he was always there on the end of the phone for all sorts of questions I had and no matter how trivial they were Paul gave me all the information I required and more and did an excellent and painless job at the end of my first year! Couldn't ask for any better to be honest. Just two words - hire him!!!"
