How to Apply a Late Payment Reason

A late payment reason is to inform the HMRC as to a reason why there is a late or an adjusted Full Payment Submission (FPS) for a payee. The late payment reason can be applied to 1 or multiple payees within the pay batch at Review stage. It is the responsibility of the user to determine if a late payment reason for payees should be applied to either a normal or adjustment batch.

How to Apply a Late Payment Reason
	Proceed to the Review stage of the Pay Batch. Check the check boxes against the payees that should have a late payment reason applied
2.	Click Late Payment Reason in the batch header. A pop up window will be displayed.
3.	Select the late payment reason applicable.
4.	Click OK. This will close the popup window and apply the late payment reason against the selected payees. The late payment reason can be viewed in the HMRC Deduction section of the pay batch process. The late payment reason will then be included in the FPS for that pay batch.
5.	Report steps 1 to 4 for any further/amendment to late payment reasons for the payees.
