Earlier Year Update

The Earlier Year Update assistant will guide you through the process of reporting corrections to information reported in previous tax years, according to the HMRC RTI reporting requirements. This process allows the employer to correct errors sent in a Full Payment submission for previous payroll years and is available for 2017 payroll year and will also be extended to include 2017-2018 tax year for payroll year 2019.

In some windows of the Earlier Year Update assistant, you can click Back to return to a previous window to review and change the entries you have made. You can also quit the assistant while you are in a window that has a Cancel button. If you quit the assistant, you will need to start the process again.
