Archived sub accounts

A sub-account provides details of all posting information for a particular year. An archived sub account will be created for any sub account two years after the end of the account in which it is cleared. For example a sub-account cleared on 01-07-93 (Account 93) is archived in November 1995 (that is following the close of Account 1995).

When a sub-account is archived it is given a new Assessment Sub Number (ASN). This is made up from the last two digits of the year of liability, and the last used sub-number for this year increased by one. For example 9301 sub-account when archived for the first time is given a new ASN of 9302. Details of all sub accounts relating to a BROCS record will be displayed.

Any attempt to update an archived sub-account will be rejected by BROCS.

Merge / Transfer history

Details of any transfer or merger involving the employer record will be displayed on this format. ‘Movement of an employer record’ at PAYE30000 onwards gives further details on the different types of moves that can involve an employer record.
