Payroll run potential delay Employer PAYE; T1-E extension

[rayuk]

Posting in the forum if anyone has quick tips/ suggestions.

I have 2 companies, one with established payroll (but I cannot claim job creation for this anymore), and another new business in which I have created 2 new jobs this month, start date 1 Aug'19.

However, due to a delay of post not being received by our accountant, we have no Employer PAYE number and seems we cannot process payroll by month-end although employees need to be paid. Accountant suggests we adjust difference later once exact tax details are known.

For my T1-E extension, I need to apply by end of Aug 2020 and need to show these 2 jobs existed for the full year. Any tips on how to deal with this?

Option-A: Submit a late FPS once the employer PAYE is known.
Option-B: Try to use my other company's employer PAYE and see if we can process payment for this month through that.

Any other suggestion/ option?

Either one would work. Option A seems more to be the honest representation of the situation

Thanks for the answer @marcnath opt-A is what we decided to go with.
