Whilst HMRC are able to re-open a PAYE scheme up to 2 tax years later, paycircle currently doesn't have this facility and you have to set up a brand new paycircle company. Would be good to not have to do this on the rare scenarios a scheme is re-opened.
I have this issue where a scheme needs to be re-opened. The only way is to remove the payroll references from the closed scheme which then also removes the links to the new company. This also creates issues for reporting and accounting that you need to remember to link the 2 schemes.
