Problem
How to split apprenticeship levy across multiple payroll company files, each with the same PAYE reference number.
Resolution
There is no functionality available to accommodate for apprenticeship levy for companies using the same PAYE reference across different company databases.
The current workaround is the following:
In the company which is used to submit the EPS, set the App Levy Allowance to £15,000. In all other companies disable App Levy.
Every month you will need to add up the NIable gross across all payrolls to calculate the apprenticeship levy and manually enter these values.
You can use the App Levy quick calculator to work out the amount of levy due per month. This is found in “Pay” > “Quick Calculator” > “App Levy”. Remember the calculator needs the total pay bill year to date to work correctly.
Once you have the values for the total pay bill and the apprenticeship levy due you must type these values into Apprenticeship levy table.
You can enter this by going to “HMRC” > “Month end Summary (p32)” > “App. Levy”.
You will need to enter the monthly Pay Bill figure and the Levy paid figure, the other boxes will populate automatically.
Once you have done this you can then submit the EPS submission. You will need to manually enter the amount of Apprenticeship Levy calculated earlier on the line designated “Current Month” as part of the EPS submission wizard:
