Are outstanding attachment balances carried forward over the year end?Open this section

Yes. Your software carries over all cumulative values and outstanding balances for attachment of earnings. Only the attachment value YTD amount is cleared to zero. This value starts to accumulate from the beginning of the new tax year.

Can I continue to pay statutory maternity pay (SMP), statutory paternity pay (SPP) and statutory adoption pay (SAP) over the year end and into a new tax year?Open this section

Yes. When you complete the year end, the outstanding balances for SMP, SPP and SAP are carried over into the new year.

Can I advance pay to employees over the year end and into a new tax year?Open this section

Yes. If you need to advance pay to employees, for example for holidays, use the Advance Pay option in the usual way.

Both tax and national insurance (NI) are calculated in line with Government legislation. Tax calculates up to the end of the tax year and carries over the tax allowances to the new tax year. NI also calculates for each individual pay period using the current thresholds.
