I need to amend a final year submission as there is a minor pension payment error. I read the instructions on .gov and it says resubmit the final year summary again with the corrected figures. But when I go to BASIC PAYE and try to do that, there is no option. It just says 'submission success'. I then spent an hour on the phone trying to sort this out, but when I got through, the assistant said she couldn't hear me and hung up. I tested the phone afterwards and it was fine. So there is a problem getting support at the moment, as I am sure you are aware. I've spent about three hours on this so far so if you could help that would be much appreciated.

Hi Mauree n Treadwell,
To correct an earlier Full Payment Submission (FPS) on Basic Tools, you need to complete the following steps:
- select 'Manage employees'
- select the employee whose pay needs to be corrected
- select 'Employee payments'
- select 'change' for the relevant pay period from the table in the centre of the screen
- select the first option - 'I need to 'correct' an earlier pay period'
- select 'Next'
- enter the correct details
- select 'Next' - this lets you check the details you have entered
- select 'Next' - this saves the new details and calculates the tax, NICs and student loan/postgraduate loan deductions, as appropriate.
- If required, select 'Back' - if you need to amend the corrections you have just made
The correction/s may not automatically create another updated FPS for you to send.
Where this has not happened, you will need to create and send a nil FPS within the last tax period to pull through the updated figures.
Please see the Basic Tools User Guide which also confirms the steps required:

Thank you.

Is this the same for an EPS that was sent too early?

Hi,

You should be able to submit another EPS with a date after the one you have sent and the EPS will overwrite the previous one.

Thank you.
