SolvedPAYE47100 | Employer returns: employer return - overpayments: PAYE advance (PAD) payments
From HM Revenue & Customs · PAYE Manual
When a provisional employer repayment is appropriate, the relevant Employer Unit will complete a form P565 and send it to Banking Operations to issue the repayment.
Where insufficient payments are held on the employer’s BROCS record for the repayment year, Banking Operations will issue a PAYE advance (PAD) to repay the employer.
A PAD can only be made from current year (CY) and is cleared when Banking Operations reallocate payments against it from the previous year (CY-1), usually when the CY-1 return is processed and an overpayment is generated.
To avoid duplicate repayments being made to employers, you must use Function VIEW BROCS to ensure that any PAD shown on the employer’s BROCS record has been settled prior to considering a repayment.
The following examples show how a PAD may be dealt with and how it will be shown on the BROCS record
