Where a Main and Additional P35 return for years 2004-05 onwards has been captured on an employer’s record you will only be able to capture / update the P38A information against the Main return. To support this, the [Update] button on the P35 Receipt screen of Additional returns will not be available.
CIS36 returns
If the tax year is 2004-05 or later and the information to be captured is a CIS36, you will be able to capture the CIS36 information onto ECS prior to the corresponding P35 / CIS36 being captured on EBS.
- Select the [CIS36] radio button
- Enter the number in the No of subcontractors during year field
No other fields within the screen will be available.
- Select the [OK] button. You will be returned to the P35 Receipt screen in which the information you have just captured will be displayed
- Select the [Cancel] button. You will be returned to the P35 Receipt screen without saving the changes
Forms P38a
If the tax year is 2004-05 or later, and the information to be captured is a P38A, you will be able to capture the P38A information prior to the corresponding P35 / CIS36 being captured on EBS.
- Complete the ‘Number on P38a’ and ‘Total P38a Pay’ fields as required
No other fields in the screen will be available
- Select the [OK] button. You will be returned to the P35 Receipt screen in which the information you have just captured will be displayed
- Select the [Cancel] button. You will be returned to the P35 Receipt screen without saving the changes
Note: You will only be able to capture P38A information against a Main return.
Forms P11D not due
The P11D not due field of the P35 Receipt screen can either be left blank or set to ‘Y’.
When the field is set to ‘Y’ the Class 1A signal will be removed from the P11D(b) screen.
Consequently where an employer has ticked the box on the form P35 to indicate that forms P11D are not due you should set the P11D not due field to ‘Y’.
From the date of capture the employer will not be issued with forms P11D(b) or be included in the automatic penalty process for late or non-receipt of forms P11D(b).
