What happens if you make a mistake in a previous year’s payroll?

To correct a mistake made in a previous tax year an earlier year update will be required.


An Earlier Year Update is a notification to HMRC informing them that the figures sent to them on a RTI report for a previous tax year were wrong.



If you made a mistake it could affect the amount of PAYE due to HMRC.

You might have to correct:

  • pay or deductions

  • payment dates

  • start or leaving dates for your employee

  • employee information

  • reports sent in advance

  • National Insurance category letters

  • amounts in your Employer Payment Summary (EPS)

If you’re still not sure or don’t feel comfortable RollPay provide an earlier year update service.
