To complete year-end payroll procedures, submit all required Final Full Payment Submissions (FPS) and Employer Payment Summaries (EPS) with final submission indicators.

Afterwards, generate P60s for each employee. Ensure that all payrolls for the tax year are finalised, and confirm with HMRC if using multiple software systems to manage the year-end process. For detailed guidance, refer to the year-end procedures provided by BrightPay by clicking here.

If you have completed and sent your final EPS/FPS and P60s, but these are still showing “no” on the Browse Employers or main page, go to Employer tab > Client Details, tick the relevant boxes for Final EPS/FPS sent and P60s issued, then save the changes. This updates the visible status for each employer/scheme.

Please note that ticking Final FPS/EPS in BrightPay notifies HMRC that no further submissions will be made — it does not automatically stop your BrightPay subscription charge.

If the employer remains on your BrightPay account in the current tax year, a charge will apply regardless of whether payslips have been finalised or the final EPS/FPS has been submitted.

To stop being charged for an employer, you will need to contact the BrightPay payments team to discuss your subscription: Phone: 0345 939 0019 (select Payment Services) | Email: payments@brightsg.com
