Employer Payment Summary (EPS) File Creation
Enables you to create the Employer Payment Summary (EPS) extract for a selected statutory unit. The EPS is used by HMRC to calculate employer liability and accumulates monthly totals on a year-to-date (YTD) basis. The EPS should be produced monthly throughout the year. You can validate the employer data first without creating the extract if required.
A final submission is produced in the last tax period of the year and when the PAYE scheme ends. A PAYE scheme is deemed ended when the corresponding statutory unit has an obsolete date. The final submission also contains the final submission declarations.
Note: You must correct any errors identified by the file verification process before creating the EPS extract.

Validate Only?
Select this check box to validate the EPS data, without creating the extract, and generate a report detailing any exceptions.
Note: No Payments Period Dates is displayed if there are no payments in the period to capture the start and end dates of the period for which no payments were made. This information is included in the EPS extract.
Note: Period of Inactivity is displayed if a future period is selected outside the reporting period and there are no payments in the period. This information is included in the EPS extract.
If you are creating the extract, one of the following windows is displayed upon clicking COMMIT:
- It is not the last tax period of the year: RTI EPS Data Maintenance is displayed, where you can view and amend the extracted data, if required, before creating the EPS extract. You can also cancel the extract creation process at this point if the data is incorrect.
- It is the last tax period of the year and a Final Submission has not been made, or the PAYE scheme has ceased: End of Year Submission is displayed, where you can complete the Final Submission Declarations.
- It is the last tax period of the year and a Final Submission has already been made: Re-submit End of Year Options is displayed, where you can choose whether to continue creating the EPS extract or not.
