To run the P11D Gaps and Overlaps report:Run the P11D Gaps and Overlaps report when you have uploaded your P11D elements to the Central Data Repository and you want to identify employees who receive:
The same type of benefit at overlapping periods within the tax year.
The same type of benefit at multiple periods with a gap between each of the periods.
Once you have identified these employees you can review each gap and overlap against the rules applicable for your organization. For example, loans are often permitted to overlap. For other benefit types, however, a reported overlap can give an early indication of a double entry that you should correct before generating your P11D reports.
You run the P11D Gaps and Overlaps report from the Submit Requests window.
To run the P11D Gaps and Overlaps report:Enter the Benefit Start Date and Benefit End Date
Enter the Validation criteria
Select the Benefit Type. If you do not make a selection, the report runs for all benefit types.
Select the maximum number of days allowed before an overlap is recorded. For example, if you select 02 then an overlap of 2 days is permissible and is not reported, but anything in excess of 2 days is reported as an overlap.
The default value is 1 day.
Select the maximum number of days allowed before a gap is recorded. For example, if you select 25, then a gap of 25 days is permissible and is not reported, but anything in excess of 25 days is reported as a gap.
The default value is 30 days.
Select the employees on whom you want to report:
Enter the Payroll
Enter the Person Name.
Enter the Employer's PAYE reference.
Enter the Consolidation Set
Enter the Assignment Set. This must be a static assignment set. If an employee has multiple assignments, you should include each assignment.
Note that gaps in benefit type arising because employees have started or left in the middle of a tax year do not appear on the Gaps and Overlaps report.
Choose OK, to confirm that the parameters are correct.
Choose Submit, to run the report.
Note that although the Gaps and Overlaps report provides an initial indication of possible discrepancies this is always dependent on the particular rules applicable in your organization. There is additional validation of your P11D data when you generate your P11D reports.
