Recovering Statutory Payments

If you have no further items you wish to report via the EPS, simply click Send Now and submit your EPS to HMRC.

1) Simply select 'RTI' on the menu bar

2) Click New on the menu toolbar and select Employer Payment Summary (EPS)

 

 

3) Complete the EPS accordingly and click 'OK' to save
