How long for ros to receive my payment

[acer120]

I've been using a payroll package to calculate and export my p30 returns for my sole employee throughout the year. For some reason after I switched from paying my employee weekly to monthly, the software understated the payment amount to ROS by about 300/ per quarter. Now. as I understand it, the p35 form is meant to take care of that. I just made a correct p30 payment for the last quarter of 2012 but when I get my software to generate the p35 file and export it to ros, the amount I owe is much more than I believe it should be. If I leave uploading the p35 form to ros until after the p30 payment is deducted from my account, will the amount I owe go down. I don't have the head to submit the payment manually and am totally dependent on the software I use.

If you paid say 5,000 through p30s (and say last one NIL filed yesterday eg)
and your P35 says 6,000 then you owe 1,000 - its a clear balancing amount and should be paid -

if your p35 says 5,000 and you owe 1500 (say last P30 paid yesterday 1500) - then you owe nothing and file 'return only'

(I think the P35 does not update immediately probably 'cos the debit might bounce ..but if you know it wont - then the figure will be NIL ..)
