HMRC Error code 6010

• HMRC error 6010 means your submission is not in the correct format for the filing window HMRC is currently accepting.

This error occurs for one of two reasons:

Scenario 1: It's too early to submit - If you're in the current tax year and trying to submit a P11D(b) for that 
same tax year, it's too early. HMRC only accepts P11D(b) submissions from 6th April onwards (in the next tax year).

What to do: Wait until 6th April of the following tax year before submitting.

Scenario 2: You're trying to submit for a previous tax year - If you're trying to submit a P11D(b) for a tax year that's no longer in the filing window, HMRC will reject it with error 6010.

For example: If you're currently in the 2026/27 tax year and trying to submit a P11D(b) for 24/25, HMRC will reject it. HMRC only accepts P11D(b) submissions for the previous tax year (25/26 in this example).

What to do: Check that you're submitting for the correct tax year. You can only submit for the immediately previous tax year. Check the tax year at the top left of BrightPay to confirm which year you're in. Any submissions for an older year will need to be made directly on the HMRC portal and not via BrightPay.

If you have moved over to BrightPay mid-year, check the mid-year totals are correct and that the figures entered are not causing the negative YTD values that HMRC are rejecting.

If your FPS or EPS submission to HMRC is unsuccessful, check your PAYE credentials, RTI settings, ensure you are not submitting outside the valid period, and review any HMRC error codes for further troubleshooting. For common errors, see Common HMRC Error Messages or contact support.

If you receive error 4065 — Invalid content at AtLELYTD — this occurs when an employer has been set up as a mid-year start and the value entered in the At LEL field within the employee's mid-year totals is too high or in an incorrect format.

To resolve:

1. Go to the RTI tab and open the rejected FPS. Use Ctrl+F (Windows) or Cmd+F (Mac) to search for the value shown in the error message — this will help you identify which employee is causing the issue.
2. Once you have identified the employee, go to their record and open the Mid-Year Totals section.
3. Locate the National Insurance line and review the figure entered in the At LEL field.
4. Correct the figure, then re-open and re-finalise their payslip, then resubmit the FPS.
