Input Grid 

Column 1

Name and National Insurance Number of each employee. Use a fresh line for each employee. Where the employee is a Director, enter ‘D’ in the right hand space. Where you do not know all the names, describe those unknown as best you can, for example, Directors, Lorry Drivers and so on.

Column 2

Amount of taxable payments omitted for the tax year. Use totals for any whose names are unknown. Use ‘E’ in front of any amount that has been estimated.

Column 3

Amount in column 2 plus any payments already shown in the employers final return for the year. If the entry in Column 2 was ‘E’ the entry here would also be ‘E’.

Column 4

Tax code taking into account PAYE Regulation 14.

Column 5

Tax is worked out from the tax tables on the payments and code entered. Normally you will use Month 12 to give a correct result for the year but you may need to estimate how the payments were made if:

  • The employee ceased before month 12
    Or
  • You use a week 1 / month 1 code

If so, manually revise the column heading to suit the case after printing off the set.
