Hi,
Having relocated to North America, I'm looking to close down my UK Ltd and wrap up my final business in the UK. I'm trying to close down my PAYE schema, but in between moving country, starting a new business here and trying to close things down there, I've managed to mess up the Basic Tools RTI application and now have no idea how to proceed.
This is what I have done so far:
Well, my problem (aside from having not taken a backup prior to doing something really drastic like closing the scheme) is that I can't find a way to delete the FPS. The last backup I have from the RTI tools is dated Dec 2013 ... and even if I restored to that, I would then have to re-enter and re-submit all my pay dates since then, which I'm not sure that I can do?
Does anyone have any suggestions for how to proceed?
Thanks in advance,
~Dan
Having relocated to North America, I'm looking to close down my UK Ltd and wrap up my final business in the UK. I'm trying to close down my PAYE schema, but in between moving country, starting a new business here and trying to close things down there, I've managed to mess up the Basic Tools RTI application and now have no idea how to proceed.
This is what I have done so far:
- I last paid myself on the 25th March 14 (pay day is always the 25th of the month). I pushed through the submission that day.
- On the 3rd April 2014 I pushed through the final submission for the tax year
- I then left the UK, did a whole bunch of other stuff, got caught up in making an insurance claim for my things which were damaged during transport and basically forgot about the final submission.
- On the 14th May, I finally has some time to look at closing down the company. I did some (limited) reading that I had to notify HMRC of the end of scheme via the RTI tool. Opening up the tool I tried to create an PAYE scheme ceased notice, which told me that it couldn't continue until I had recorded that all employees (myself) had left.
- So I created a leaving date for myself. Since I finished my last contract on the 28th March that is the date that I put down. This has created an submitted FPS which now fails to submit because a) it is after April 19th and therefore too late for the submission and b) it is dated before my final submission.
- I phoned HMRC to see what I could do, I was instructed to delete the FPS from the list, change the date and resubmit it.
Well, my problem (aside from having not taken a backup prior to doing something really drastic like closing the scheme) is that I can't find a way to delete the FPS.
