UK Payroll - Ability to resubmit previous year of EPS submission
The ability to resubmit a previous years final EPS submission - in order to resubmit a final EPS for 2021-2022 tax year, we had to use HMRC basic tools to claim Employment Allowance, it would be helpful if this could be done in Xero. Doesn't look good for Xero Payroll if the fall back is HMRC Basic Tools, when clients are paying for Xero Payroll

I registered a client for PAYE and whilst awaiting the PAYE reference numbers set up and processed payroll just as I would normally do. The RTI filings obviously were rejected. However I would have expected to have gone on and resubmit these filings once the PAYE reference numbers were received. Unfortunately HMRC are taking longer to provide the numbers, and when I did get them, I discovered that the 2 months' payrolls that were processed on Xero Payroll will now need to be done on Basic Tools. Really, Xero? At times I do wonder why I just don't use Basic Tools rather than Xero Payroll as 'do it on Basic Tools' seems to be the stock answer these days from Xero.
I remember back in the early days of Xero Payroll I summed up the payroll offering as Basic Tools with a payslip. I think Basic Tools is now more advanced that Xero Payroll!

The inability to re-submit an EPS is frustrating after any tax month is frustrating - Xero's answer is to use HMRC Basic tools but we are paying for Xero Payroll.
We use other payroll software that has this facility why doesn't Xero?
