You should reject any appeal that is made on any grounds other than not being a large employer or not being in default by either

• telephoning or writing to the employer and
• explaining that they are not valid grounds for appeal.

Where appropriate you should

• educate for the future by advising ways in which to solve the problem, which gave rise to the late payment this time
• advise which are acceptable grounds for appeal and
• ask that the appeal be withdrawn in all cases.

PAYE203 provides suggested wording for this letter.
