    Let me help you record your employment allowance to show in the HMRC portal, Steve.

     

    The Employment Allowance allows certain businesses that employ people to reduce their Employer Class 1 National Insurance liability by up to £5,000 per tax year. You can look at the HMRC website if you are qualified. If you're not sure of your eligibility, read the employer guidance. 

     

    If you qualify, you must notify HMRC directly. Then, here's how to make it appear in the HMRC portal:

     

     

    1. Go to the Gear icon on the top menu. Then Account and settings.
    2. Select Employees or Payroll menu.
    3. Next to Employer NI relief, select the pencil icon.
    4. If you qualify, tap Yes, I qualify. We'll create an EPS filing stating that you're eligible and prompt you to submit the EPS to HMRC.
    5. Enter how much Employment Allowance you've used this tax year. Sign in to your HMRC account (PAYE for Employers) to find this amount.
    6. Press Save. You can send an EPS now to let HMRC know that you qualify or do it later.

     

    Additionally, I recommend checking our Reports and Accounting page for reference to learn some tips and tricks for managing your reports. 

     

    Don't hesitate to reach the Community for any other concerns about employment allowance. We got your back. Have a great day!

    I have this same issue.  I have followed your instructions. In HMRC settings it is already set to Yes for small business relief.  This still does not reflect on the EPS when i run it.  I have had a letter saying i owe money which is the Employment allowance that was shown as a deduction on the P32.  I cannot seem to force it to create an EPS showing the employment allowance deductions.  Please help

    Hi I have same issue.. (Payroll Advanced) I've been in touch with QBO help.

     

    I already had ticked check box in Payroll Settings > HMRC settings > Small employers > Will you be claiming employment allowance > checkbox 2023/24.  

     

    Then come out of here go to reports > Payroll HMRC Reports > Ensure in correct year 2023/24 > Run reports.. I then went ahead and submitted previous report (don't tick the check boxes unless any of them apply eg no employees paid in period etc, its OK to submit without apparently.  After the next payment run in the correct period I should be able to do this again and it will send the submission with the information HMRC need in respect of the employment allowance.  I've set mine to auto submit EPS back in Payroll Settings again.

     

    Hopefully this will now work!
