SolvedPAYE47080 | Employer returns: employer return - overpayments: overpayments and repayment supplement
From HM Revenue & Customs · PAYE Manual
From 1992-93 repayment supplement (Repayment Interest (RPI)) is due on the repayment of PAYE, National Insurance and Subcontractor deductions.
RPI is calculated at the appropriate rate and will be due as follows
1992-93 to 1995-96 inclusive
The 6 April twelve months following the year in which payment was made
1996-97 onwards
The 19 April immediately following the year in which payment was made, or the effective date of payment whichever is the later, to the date the payment is disposed of
Who will calculate RPI?
Banking Operations are responsible for calculating RPI. From 6 April 1997 this has been automatically calculated by BROCS upon instructions to make a repayment.
Note: BROCS will only calculate RPI automatically if the RPICAL is set in BROCS Format 9. When NORPICAL signal is set the repayment should be made using form P565. See PAYE47045.
RPI can be viewed on the BROCS record using Function VIEW BROCS in Format 3. ‘Types of posting on BROCS’ at PAYE48135 gives further details.
