UK Payroll - Ability to process prior year employment allowance claims through Xero payroll
At the moment this isn't an available feature, and HMRCs basic PAYE tools need to be used. It would be good to see this as an option in Xero.

Basic process that needs adding to Xero ASAP!

I moved from sage payroll to xero payroll with a previous client and it was as simple as ticking a box on sage, and my client got £4000. I've just failed to log into HMRC basic PAYE tools, so it's feeling especially frustrating.

How do you claim through Basic PAYE Tools. I'm clueless how to do it as have always relied on Payroll software to sort everything out

I think being able to apply for past Employment Allowance years.... having to request from HMRC direct seems very clunky!

It's annoying when you have payroll software, that for somethings you still have to revert back to the HMRC basic tools software to impliment. There have been a few things now that I have found Xero can't perform certain tasks, which defeats the whole point of paying for a payroll package.

Can't believe this is not a feature within Xero - absolutely a must.
Please add this as a standard feature because if we revert to use HMRCs Basic PAYE tool for prior year EA claims, it kind of defeats the object of having Xero payroll.
I will simply go back to Moneysoft for a more simplistic and reliable process of payroll runs

Very good suggestion and needed to ensure good payroll functionality

I had the same question and was provided with the same answer above.
HMRC say that some payroll systems simply have a box to tick for the prior year claim and a credit is put against that prior year. It would be a useful option.

Absolutely - find it amazing it isn't already a feature given how far back some of the requests for this go, it's been years that users have been asking for this fix. Would be great to see it as a feature.

This would be great if it is available on Xero.
