This paragraph applies where the error relates to the information given in the return in respect of an employee under paragraph 16 or 17 of Schedule A1 (real time returns).
3
This paragraph applies where the error was the omission of details of a relevant payment to an employee.
4
This paragraph applies where the error arises because, as a result of a retrospective tax provision, the total amount of the relevant payments made by an employer to an employee increases for any tax year in which the employer was a Real Time Information employer.

The employer must provide the correct information in the first return made after the discovery of the error under regulation 67B or 67D for the tax year in question.

the tax year to which the return relates,

in any case where information given under paragraph 17 of Schedule A1 is corrected, the tax code operated in arriving at the value of the correction, and

if paragraph (8) applies, the information specified in paragraphs 36 to 44 of Schedule A1,

In the application of paragraphs (6) and (7) to cases within paragraph (3), if no information was given in any returns under regulation 67B or 67D in respect of the employee in the tax year, the value of the adjustments required must be calculated as if there was a final return containing information for the employee in the year and the figure requiring adjustment was zero.
