Problem
How to correct the error if the wrong values have been submitted on an EPS.
Resolution
The EPS sends the company running year to date totals on each submission. It does not send individual monthly amounts, therefore, to make corrections, you do not need to resend a previous month EPS. To make corrections you need to adjust the YTD values you send on your next EPS.
If you are concerned that an individual month submission is too high your first check is the compare the totals against your p32 or p30 reports.
If the YTD totals are incorrect on the last submission you will need to make an amendment.
The best practise advised by the HMRC is make the correction on the next months EPS submission.
You will need to adjust the incorrect value(s) on the 2nd screen of the EPS wizard.
Click the “Adjust” button against the element you need to correct.
In the pop up window you need to record the value that will bring your YTD value to the correct amount.
eg. For month 1 (April) the EPS should have reported £600 recovery for SMP, the EPS was sent with only £300 recovery showing.
For month 2 (May) we are again recovering £600 for SMP. At this point our YTD is £1200, we have already told the HMRC about £300 so we need to adjust the value to show the remaining balance, £1200 – £300 = £900
