P30 Employer's Payslip

To access your P30 for the tax month or quarter in question, select HMRC on the menu bar and select the tax period you wish to view on the payment schedule bar.

1) Click the P30 button on the menu toolbar

 

2) To print the P30, click the 'Print' icon on the top right hand corner.
 

3) To email the P30, click the 'Email' icon on the top right hand corner..  (A default 'reply to' address and an email signature can be added by going to File > Preferences > Email > when complete > 'Save')
 

4) To download the P32 to PDF, select the 'Download' icon on the top right hand corner.

Note: If there is no payment reference on the P30, this is due to an adjustment or carry over amount from the previous period. The reason for this is any manual adjustment made or carry over from a previous period in the HMRC tab on BrightPay will not reflect the FPS submission details sent in that tax month.

The P32 will be a 12 page document (one page per tax month). If you wish to print one page, you will have to use the settings on your printer and choose the correct page number you wish to print. Ie page 2 would be tax month 2.

Important - In BrightPay, the P32 provides a breakdown for the entire tax year, while the P30 gives you a monthly summary.

To view / print / export previous tax years' P30s or P32s, ensure you are in the correct tax year on BrightPay. You can switch tax years by clicking on the current at the top of your screen and then choosing the required tax year from the dropdown menu.

FAQs

Q. Why might Company (Employer) NIC be a different amount showing on the Analysis reports in the and the Employer P30?

A. Usually, the employer NIC shown in Analysis reports and on the P30 should match, as both should refer to the same wages and contributions for that tax month.
 

However, differences can arise due to:

1. Date Settings:
   • Company Analysis uses pay periods or payroll summary periods, while the P30 uses the actual pay date to define the tax month.
   • If running weekly payroll, pay periods may not align exactly with the P30’s tax month calculation (for example 4 weeks have been run on the Analysis report, but actually 5 weeks 'pay date' fall within the tax month).
2. Employee Pay Dates:
   • If one or more employees have a different pay date from the usual (ie, they have been paid early or late as they are leaving employment, but the period in the Payroll section has not changed), their NIC may show in a different tax month on the P30 compared to the Analysis reports.
3. Leavers and Termination Awards:
   • If a leaver has been made redundant and is given a termination award, this is subject to Employer Class 1A NIC (not Class 1).
   • Analysis reports usually only provide Employer Class 1 NIC by default, whereas the P30 includes all NIC liabilities. If you want the total to match the P30 (which includes all ER NIC, including Class 1A), ensure you add the ‘Employer Class 1A NIC’ column in your report using the 'add/remove columns' options before running the report.
