Summary
The following article explains how to enter and keep track of council tax attachment of earnings orders.
 | If you are unsure about Council Tax Attachment of Earnings Orders (CTAEO), please refer to the information you will have received from the employee's local council explaining the rules governing Attachment Orders or visit the HMRC web site here. You will have received a notice from the council to start collecting Council Tax payments from an employee. Whilst these orders are administered within the PAYE system, they are not the responsibility of HMRC themselves. |
More Information
Go to " Payroll Run Payroll Period".
- Enter <Y> against the employee's pay frequency or click the [Down arrow] and select 'Yes' then click the [OK] button to go into the payroll.
- Choose the relevant employee and press<Ctrl+F7> to take you through to the " Adjustment Entry" screen.
 | If a screen appears saying 'Attachment orders' showing other attachments, if this is the existing council tax attachment you can press <F5> to edit it or if it is not the required attachment you can press <F6> to create a new one. |
- This will take you to a screen asking for the required "Agency". This is where you enter 'CTA' for 'Council Tax Attachments'.
 | If you type 'CTA' in upper case and get a message saying 'Agency Not Found', please see this article. |
- Using the paperwork supplied to you by the council, enter the "Start Date:" and "End Date:".
- In the "Reference:" field, enter a description for the Attachment (e.g. "Council Tax - JB" i.e. initials of the employee.)
- On the "Attachment Type:", enter '01' for Amount.
- If the total amount owed is shown on the council paperwork, enter this in the "Total Amount:" field.
| Generally the 'Total Amount' is not provided, and a stop notice will be issued to you once the attachment is no longer required. You can therefore leave this field blank. |
- Press <Esc> and [Accept] to complete.
| Remember to pay the amounts deducted from employees to the correct organisation each month. This will be shown on the paperwork that you have received from the council. |
