Paying an employee who has died

You must make all outstanding payments when an employee dies.

Put the date they died into the 바카라 사이트˜Date of leaving바카라 사이트™ field in your next Full Payment Submission (FPS), and deduct tax using their existing tax code. Use category letter X so that you do not deduct National Insurance. Do not produce a P45.

Payments to a person who has died are usually made to the personal representative or executor of that person바카라 사이트™s estate.

If you make a mistake

If an employee dies and you did not report it in the right FPS, follow the guidance for when an employee leaves.

Making a late payment

If you need to pay someone after you바카라 사이트™ve sent an FPS with their 바카라 사이트˜Date of leaving바카라 사이트™ (the date they died):

  • use tax code 0T on a 바카라 사이트˜week 1바카라 사이트™ or 바카라 사이트˜month 1바카라 사이트™ basis
  • include their 바카라 사이트˜Date of leaving바카라 사이트™ and put 바카라 사이트˜Yes바카라 사이트™ in the 바카라 사이트˜Payment after leaving indicator바카라 사이트™ field in your FPS
  • choose 바카라 사이트˜H - Correction to an earlier submission바카라 사이트™ in the 바카라 사이트˜Late payment reason바카라 사이트™ field
  • update the year-to-date figures - or if it바카라 사이트™s a new tax year, make sure the year-to-date figures only include the additional payment
