Withholding tax corrections

[Former Member]

Hi

We have been told by our Finance team that the HMRC will no longer be making corrections via the phone and all corrections to withholding tax needs to be done by correcting the data in SAP and re-submitting.

This is the scenario

An invoice was paid in May with the wrong withholding tax. When it comes to the submission in June, this is identified and the document is excluded from S_P00_07000134.

May period is closed so the invoice cannot be corrected. Finance reverse the document in June resulting in a negative withholding tax value which HMRC do not accept.

The vendor has already received the payment which is more or less than he should get.

How do other companies deal with these types of scenarios now the HMRC have changed their rules?

Thanks

Phil
