When running payroll, there will be occasions when an FPS is submitted late. In these scenarios, HMRC expect a Late reporting reason to be provided on the FPS. The different reasons you can report are:

  • A – Notional payment: Payment to expat by third party or overseas employer

  • B – Notional payment: Employment related security

  • C – Notional payment: Other

  • D – Payment subject to Class 1 NICs but P11/P9D for tax

  • E – Micro employer using temporary ‘on or before’ relaxation

  • F – Impractical to report work done on the day

  • G – Reasonable excuse

  • H – Correction to earlier submission

To do this, watch the video or follow the steps below.

Select a late reason

To select a late reason, follow the steps below.

  1. From the current period, click Run payroll.

  2. Select the relevant reason from the drop down menu. This will be set to G – Reasonable excuse by default.

  3. Click Run payroll.

Rollbacks and supplementary pay runs

If you are processing a rolled-back period, or a supplementary pay run, Paycircle will automatically assign and add the correct reason code H – Correction to earlier submission to the FPS.
