 Salary Sacrifice Pension Scheme

 Under a salary sacrifice pension scheme there are no
contributions from employees out of their net pay.

 Instead the employer contribution is increased, in return for the
employee agreeing to an equivalent reduction in their gross
salary.

 When a employee is assigned a pension scheme that is set up
as Salary Sacrifice the following details need to be recorded:
 Reference Salary i.e. salary before the sacrifice
 How they are sacrificing i.e. fixed amount or percentage
 How much they are sacrificing i.e. amount or percentage value


 Processing Salary Sacrifice Pension

 The Employee‟s Taxable Gross Pay (to be included in the
calculation for Tax and NI) is the post sacrifice value.

 The employer contribution is now equal to the amount the
employee is sacrificing, plus any additional contribution made
by the employer.

 Payslips & Reports

 In accordance to HMRC guidance the sacrifice value appears
as a negative payment, in the left hand column on the
payslip.
 Any legislative reports that show gross pay i.e. P11
Deduction Cards will show the post sacrifice value.

 The following calculations will be made on the new lower
salary (post sacrifice):
 Student Loans
 Attachment of Earnings
 Holiday Funds
 Average Weekly Earnings for Statutory Payments
NOTE:
The Nominal Link default postings will be the Pre-Sacrifice
Salary as a DR to Payments on P&L and the Sacrificed
Salary as a CR to the Pension Balance Sheet account

 An archive folder has been added in to the Company_XXX
folder and will be used by the system for storing automatic
backups.
 The backup is taken during the update wizard, prior to the

pay period followed by the date & time.
 The automatic backups option is switched on by default but

Produce P35 and P38a Form – using P35 Wizard

P38a Form - Report is only produced if you answer „NO‟ to
question 1 in P35 wizard:

 You must complete a P38A Form if you did not complete a
P14 for an employee in employment during the tax year, or
you did not complete a Form P38(S) for a Student Employee.

 However, if each employee completed Statement A or B of
P46 AND paid less than £97 per week, or £421 per month do
not need to enter the individual details for those employees.

NOTE:
As submitting online print 1 copy keep for 3 years.

Understanding where the P35 Figures are derived from?

Front Sheet & Part 2 of Form P35
Figures are derived from P35 Wizard so must run Wizard first, although the Wizard
Will show Tax and NICs already paid from:

 Company Settings → HMRC Payments: (populated by one of the following
methods)
– Manually entered
– Updated by P32 production each tax month
– HM Revenue & Customs Payments via Collector of Taxes Wizard

 Company Settings → Tax Refund Received, Statutory Payments & SSP
Recovered Tables

 YTD Values from Employee Records e.g. SMP/SPP/SAP Recovered, NIC
Compensation, Student Loan Deductions

continued…
Understanding where the P35 Figures are derived from?
Front Sheet & Part 2 of Form P35
 Received Tax-Free Incentive for submitting on line 2008/2009 tax year - £75
Amend HMRC Payments table to reflect actual payment made to HMRC and
enter the figure in the Tax-free Incentive Payment Received field. Or if
received incentive via a cheque from HMRC enter nothing in P35 Wizard.

NOTE:
If you have made a mistake re-run the Wizard as many times as you need!

P35 (CS) (Substitute) Deductions Working Sheets
Not dependent on P35 Wizard entries, so can be printed from Year End Reports
Menu.

Sage 50 Payroll Version 2011
Year End Demonstration

Reconciling Year End Reports
Reports Needed : P11, P32, P35
 Check P35 (CS) (Substitute) Deductions Working Sheets
against P11 Deduction Cards

 P35 (CS) (Substitute) Deductions Working Sheet „NIC Column‟ = „Total
of Employee‟s and Employer‟s Contributions‟ Figure in „Column 1e‟ on
P11 Deduction Card (NIC Details)

 P35 (CS) (Substitute) Deductions Working Sheet „Income Tax Column‟
= „This Employment‟ Figure in Column 6‟ (Total tax due to date as
shown by Taxable Pay Tables) on each employee‟s P11 Deduction
Card (PAYE Details)

continued…
Eg: Check P35 (CS) (Substitute) Deductions Working Sheets to P11 Deduction Cards

P11 Deduction Card (NIC Details) - Column 1e

P11 Deduction Card (PAYE Details) -‘This Employment’ Figure in ‘Column 6’

continued…
 Check P35 (CS) (Substitute) Deductions Working Sheet
against P35 Section 2
 P35 (CS) (Substitute) Deductions Working Sheet and P35 Section 2 report
figures are derived from the same part of the system, so only need to reconcile
two values:

Form P35 (CS) (Substitute) P35 Section 2
Deductions Working Sheet

Income Tax Deducted / Refunded – Box 5 (Income Tax) – Totals from
Grand Total continuation sheets

National Insurance Contributions Box 2 (NICs) – Totals from continuation
(NIC) – Grand Total sheets

This will mean that you do not have to reconcile your P35 (CS)
(Substitute) Deductions Working Sheet against your P32

continued…
Example: Checking P35 Deductions Working Sheet against P35 Section 2

P35 Part 2

P35 Deductions Working Sheet

continued…

 Check P35 Section 2 against P32 Payment Summary
 Figures on P35 Section 2 = Report Totals shown on the P32 Payment
Summary reports (Add all 12 months together for P32 totals).

Note: P35 shows pay in the current employment only, including
any cumulative values entered part-way through the tax
year.

The P32 only shows figures processed in Sage
Payroll and ignores cumulative values entered.

Example: Check P35 Part 2 against P32 Payment Summary
P32 Payment Summary Report P35 Section 2

continued…
Example: Check P35 Part 22against P32 Payment Summary continued…
P35 Section P32 Payment Summary Report
BOX 2 - (NIC) Totals from continuation FIGURE 4 – Gross National Insurance (12
sheets marked „R‟ Months)
BOX 5 – (Income Tax) Totals from FIGURE 1 – PAYE Income Tax (12 Months)

BOX 17 – SAP Recovered FIGURE 10 – SAP (12 Months)

BOX 18 – NIC Compensation on SAP FIGURE 11 – NIC Compensation on SAP if

BOX 20 – Received from HMRC to pay Relevant details into the Company Settings
SSP/SMP/SPP/SAP → Statutory Funding → Statutory Funding
Received table, the value appears in the
table at the bottom of the P32s beside
SSP/SMP/SPP/SAP Funding Received.

continued…
 Check P32 against P11 Deduction Cards (optional)

 This information can be checked but is very time consuming.
P32 and your P11 Deduction Cards derive their information from the
same source – each employee‟s updated pay period values. They
should therefore be the same.

Eg

When running P32 for month 1 its values are the sum of the P11D
Deduction Card entries that are updated for the employee for that
month.
