Employer return details

Details of returns captured on EBS, up to a maximum of 99 are available to view. In most cases this will enable you to follow the progress of an employer record’s EOY charge information for any year for all returns that have been captured. Where more than 99 returns have been captured the latest 99 will be displayed.

Indicators

Certain indicators if set at the time a return was captured or as a result of capturing that return will be shown on the relevant version. These are

  • INHIBIT UP / OP
  • FUNDING DISCREPANCY

Monetary fields

All monetary fields will be displayed showing both the net adjustment (Word 27KB) amount and also the consolidated position (Word 28KB) for each monetary item.

This will enable you to review

  • The return information that was provided on that version of the return
And
  • How it had affected the overall net position

Computer generated information

The following computer generated information will be displayed for each return captured

  • P239 list number (up to 2004)

P228 details

For tax years up to 2003-04 a P228 was generated when the return details were captured on EBS.

For each of these years P228 details can be viewed for different versions of an employer annual return where appropriate. The design of the screen is similar to a form P228 and where the computer generated form is either damaged or lost a screen print can be taken and used to submit EOY papers to NIC&EO.

For tax years 2004-05 onwards the P228 details are created when the return is recorded as received and passed to NIC&EO.

For each of these years the P228 information can be viewed for different versions of an employer annual return where appropriate. For these years the P228 information is not generated at the capture stage and can only be accessed from the View EOY History screen.

Further information can be found in subject ‘Form P228’ at PAYE41020.
