Manually edit the CWPS rates within your software
Description

CAUTION: You should only edit your CWPS rates if advised to do so by your pension provider, accountant or another advisory body. 

When you install a new update for your software, the standard CWPS rates and settings automatically apply. This means if you've previously amended the CWPS rates, they return to the standard setting. The year end update is the one exception, it doesn't reset the CWPS rates to their standard settings in the tax year that is ending. However, it does correct the CWPS setting in the new tax year. After you install each update, you need to manually edit the CWPS rates.

TIP: Find the most recent CWPS contribution rates in our handy Changes to the CWPS rates guide.
