Payroll situation

  • 82 posts

Hello,

I have a client whose payroll I am going to do once I have got my payroll exam results (have an expected result date of 5th April!)

They have been running the payroll through quickbooks software, but they have been using the 2010/2011 dated quickbooks, and not updated with the 2010/2011 quickbooks software.

Unless I am mistaken, this will mean that all of the limits of the tax and national insurance payments for this year will be wrong. 

I am trying to think of the best way forward for when I take this over (assuming I can do the last payroll run of this tax year having passed my exam and upgraded my membership)

Would you put the YTD figures from the software currently being used into the 2011 quickbooks? Or can you alter all the limits on the 2010 quickbooks? How would this affect the NI? (I am guessing not a problem for tax as it is cumulative, but might be an issue for NI?).

I haven't looked at the software yet until I get my exam results. Could it be that the quickbooks software automatically does a web update with the correct tax and NI thresholds even if using the wrong disc?

Would appreciate any advice on a bit of a sticky situation!

Hi Cheryl,


Do you mean they are using Quickbooks Pro 2010?   And do you mean they haven't upgraded to 2012?  Your dates in the second paragraph were the same, so not quite sure what you were getting at?


It doesn't matter that they haven't upgraded, if they pay a subscription for QB payroll then they will get all the updates automatically anyway and will have been using the correct figures for payroll.   


Hope this helps.

Thanks Pauline,

Yes, you got what I was trying to get at, glad to hear that it will be OK, was worried I was going to have to sort out a mess in the last week of the tax year!

Thanks for the reply,

Cheryl

Hi Cheryl,


And what a mess that would have been to sort out!  Using 2010/11 figures for 2011/12 tax year!
