Negative PAYE due to SMP

Hi.

This is my first time on a forum, so apologies if I'm in the wrong place!

I am currently entering my wages journals and baby brain I have at the moment can't seem to get my head around it.

Throughout the year we had one member of staff on maternity leave. I understand the nominal for SMP recovered, but our PAYE balance is negative.

Posting this in CR as a minus figure, works wonders and all adds up nicely, I would just like some advice please if that is correct?

Many Thanks

  • Hi Steph,

     

    Usually, when PAYE is deducted you would post a journal Cr to your PAYE nominal code, 2210 by default. The Dr entry is posted to your Net wages nominal code, 2220 by default.

     

    Therefore, if the employee receives a tax rebate you should post a journal Dr to your PAYE nominal code, with the Cr entry posted to your Net wages nominal code.

     

    You can find full info on how to record a salary journal here.

     

    Regards,
