Programme SAP HIECP450 - P45 Legislative Reporting Ireland

Title
P45 Legislative Reporting Ireland (HIECP450)

Purpose
This report generates the following statutory forms, which are a part ofEnd-of-Employment Returns (EOER) reporting in Ireland:

  • P45 form: End-of-Employment returns of an employee for Revenue Online
  • Services (ROS)
    When an employee leaves your company and the final net pay iscalculated, you must issue a P45 form.
    This report generates the relevant data in P45 format for terminatedemployees. It provides you the option of generating the form in printversion and XML file format.
    • P45 Supplementary form: Supplementary End-of-Employment returns of an
    • employee for ROS
      If you pay the employee any additional taxable amount after the issue ofP45 form, you need to report this to the government by issuing P45supplementary. You can generate P45 Supplementary only in the XML fileformat.
      Example
      An employee leaves the company on Jan 31, 2006 and receives a P45 form.In February, the employee receives EUR 1,000 from the company. Since youhave already issued P45 form to the employee for January, the reportgenerates a P45 Supplementary. It displays the employee's taxableearnings for February, which is EUR 1,000.

      Prerequisites
      P45 form
      Before you generate the P45 form for a terminated employee, you need toensure that the following have taken place:

      • You must have executed the termination event for the employee.

      • Note: The report prints the employment cessation date only if youprocess the leave event for an employee. Else, it lists the employee asa Special Case at the end of processing. However, in this casethe P45 form is not complete and is therefore this not a valid P45 form.
        • There must be a set of payroll results for the Payroll Period
        • during which the employee termination took place.
          P45 Supplementary
          Before you generate the P45 Supplementary, you need to ensure thefollowing:
          • The employee has received P45 form upon termination.

          • You must update the Tax Data Ireland infotype (0359) with P45
          • form details of the employees. When you run this report to generate P45form, the system creates a batch input to update the Tax DataIreland infotype (0359). You must process the batch input throughtransaction SM35.
            • There must be at least one payroll result for the employee after the
            • issue of P45 form.
              • There must be some taxable earnings for the employee after the issue of
