Correct a PAYE filing

Use Corrections when an existing PAYE filing receipt is rejected, superseded, or needs amendment. Preserve the original evidence and record the replacement sequence.

Steps

1. Review the original receipt

   Open the correct employer period and action. Review its Evidence & filing history and the actual authority response.

2. Open a follow-up

   In Corrections, open a follow-up against the current receipt and record the rejection or correction reason.

3. Propose the correction

   Compare the pinned baseline and proposed payroll coverage captures. Save a correction proposal with its reason and any internal target.

4. Record the review decision

   Have an authorised reviewer record a decision. Approve for local handling authorises the local correction workflow; it is not authority approval.

5. Attach replacement evidence

   Complete the amended work through the official channel, attach the actual replacement receipt, and resolve the follow-up only when the reviewed proposal and evidence permit it.

6. Check the history

   Check History and the original and replacement receipt lineage. Review payment allocations separately if the correction changes the liability.

Important boundary

Changing a generated file or local status does not amend a TaRMS return. Follow the authority’s correction procedure and retain its response.
