Recording tax and NI payments to HMRC

Sage Cover Extra webinars

Using Sage 50 Payroll you can keep a record of the tax and national insurance (NI) contributions you make to HMRC.

How are the payments recorded in my software?

The payments of tax and NI are automatically recorded when you perform one of the following tasks:

Produce Form P32 - Employer Payment RecordOpen this section

You should produce Form P32 each month so that you can check that your monthly figures are correct. When you do this, select the Update the Payments check box to record the monthly payments of tax and NI due to HMRC.

Note: If you use the Collector of Taxes Wizard to make these payments electronically to HMRC, don't select this check box because the wizard records this information automatically in your software.

Need help producing Form P32? See Producing post-update reports.

Use the Collector of Taxes Wizard to pay HMRC each monthOpen this section

The Collector of Taxes Wizard uses the e-Banking option to make electronic tax and NI payments to HMRC. When you do this, details of the payments made are recorded. To find out more about e-Banking, see An introduction to e-Banking.

Alternatively, you can manually enter the information from your own records. To do this > Company > Settings > HMRC Payments. In the Payments of Tax/NICs table, enter the amount paid each month. Here you can also record the amount of employer NI due each month and any employment allowance you've claimed, if applicable.
