Reminder for Access Payroll Administrators

Statutory Returns and Multi-Part Submissions

When 'Multiple Databases' is selected, the 'SSP Recovered' functionality is switched off deliberately and has to be deducted manually from the HMRC payment.

This is done intentionally due to the fact that the amount (if any) recoverable is calculated on the amount of NI payable across the (multiple) databases carrying the same PAYE reference, and is based on a percentage of the Gross NI payable across the combined group total.

SSP is not neccessarily recoverable but where it is, it may be adjusted by means of a manual amendment to the HMRC payment. This is not a major issue but Payroll Administrators should be made aware of it so they can action accordingly.
