The way that you are required to report your payroll information is changing - are you up to speed with the new requirements set by HMRC?
What is changing?
The current system requires businesses to submit annual reports to HMRC regarding their payroll. As from April 2013, this will change to the new Real Time Information (RTI) payroll system. The fundamental changes will be that payroll information regarding PAYE liabilities and NIC contributions for each employee will be submitted to HMRC every month or other payroll interval.
With the new RTI system, there are four main types of submission. These are Employer Alignment System (EAS) which helps HMRC update its records; Full Payment Submission (FPS), which is the main submission informing HMRC of PAYE and NIC Liabilities for employees; Employer Payment Summary if any alterations or nil payments need to be reported; and National Verification Request (NVR), to validate each employee’s National Insurance Number.
Why are these changes required?
HMRC are implementing these changes to collect information more regularly and efficiently. By doing so, they will be able to ensure that each employer’s total PAYE and NIC Liability is correct. Rather than waiting until the year end to calculate how much has been under or overpaid, HMRC will be able to constantly track the payments and adjust these monthly where necessary.
What do you need to do?
