PAYE43510 - Employer returns: ECS additional processing action: P35 receipt screen
The P35 Receipt screen previously allowed you to capture information from the end of year returns P35 and CIS36 such as the answers to the questions and statements that could not be recorded on EBS. From the year 2004-05 onwards, the answers to the P35 questions and statements for all returns, CIS36 and P38a information are now captured on EBS. The information captured will continue to be displayed in the P35 Receipt screen within ECS, but you will be unable to change it through the Update P35 screen. Any changes must be made on EBS.
This change covers procedures for
- The P35 questions and statements
- P38a information
- CIS36 information
For years up to and including 2003-04 the capture process is unchanged.
To access the P35 Receipt screen you should
- Select the P35 Capture icon
The screen is split into three sections
Employer section
P35 section
Directors section

P35 section
The P35 section displays the date the return was received in the office and indicates whether the return is a P35 or CIS36 and Main or Additional.
A Main return could be either
- The first return submitted
Or
- An additional return which includes different employees to the main return
An additional return consists of employees who were already included on the main return.
The P35 section displays six questions numbered 1 to 6
- Question 1 relates to the P35 only
- Question 2 relates to the P35 and CIS36
- Question 3 to 6 relate to the P35 only
If the return is a P35, the system will answer ‘Y’ to question 1 and ‘N’ to questions 2 to 6.
If the return is a CIS36, the system will answer ‘N’ to question 1. Questions 2 to 6 will be blank.
If the answers shown on a P35 / CIS36 received match the default answers shown above take no further action, as the ECS P35 Receipt record will automatically reflect the answers actually given by the employer / contractor.
