HMRC payroll CD-Rom and backdating start date

[bingocaller88]

After a period of not working through my company, I started to work through it again but it has been a few months before I got round to sorting out the payroll.

Do you think it's OK to backdate the start date of when my payroll was reactivated?

Or is it better to start it from now and effectively have a few months when I wasn't being paid? I could pay myself a larger amount now in respect of those few months

I don't think it really matters... it's much simpler just to start paying again from now on. If you're worried about paying yourself a set amount by the end of the tax year just up the remaining monthly payments to meet it.
