One of our employees has reach retirement age part of the way into the last month of the tax year (March). We have changed the NI letter to C and have a new tax code for them. When we go to submit to HMRC it says ["The amount in [EMPLOYEESCONTRIBUTIONSONALLEARNINGS] must be 0.00 if the [NILETTER] is 'X', 'C', 'K', 'S' or 'W'. Please check", '7865', "This must be 0.00 if [NILETTER] is 'X', 'C', 'K', 'S' or 'W'.", 'Diagnostic message:', 'Assertion failure:'] The amount that the PAYE Basic software calculated is £40.30 for the employee to pay in NI. Surely the software should have calculated it correctly. Is there any way of changing the figure to be 0?
