The list of balances will depend on the items that are processed and require reporting to HMRC.

If any of the differences are greater than zero, you need check the reports and compare figures at employee level to see where the discrepancy is.

Note: Ensure that the Tax Reporting Unit field is populated.

You need to test the submission type and verify that the file reflects everything that needs to be submitted to HMRC. You must only run it in live submission mode type after that.
