Deductions Working Sheet (P11)

This screen allows the production of deductions working sheets (P11) forms for a given PAYE year and employee.

This is a key payroll form and must be maintained for each employee either in hard copy or, as in this case, a computer generated equivalent. It details their pay and deductions for each week or month of the tax year.

To focus on a particular deductions working sheet, set the relevant PAYE year. Choose the employee or "All" employees. Click the Generate Button to produce the report.

PAYE Year

The PAYE Year drop down list contains valid PAYE years that can be selected. PAYE years run from the 6th April to the following 5th April; So that PAYE Year 2015/2016 means from 6th April 2015 to 5th April 2016.
