Real Time Payroll Processing

Friday, 05 October 2012 11:37 Last Updated on Friday, 13 September 2019 10:51 Written by admin

 REAL TIME INFORMATION AND PAYE

RTI is a new way of reporting PAYE information. It will enable employers to tell HMRC about payments to employees as they are made rather than at the end of the tax year. Over time, this will allow HMRC to collect the right amount of tax and NICs from more individuals in the actual year. RTI will also support universal credits.

What is the timetable for introducing RTI?

Most employers will join RTI from April 2013, with all employers reporting RTI by October 2013. RTI reporting will be included within normal payroll activity.

What is changing?

Employers will no longer have to:

  • send an end of year return (P35, P14s and P38As) to HMRC
  • send a form P45 to HMRC when an employee leaves
  • send a form P46 to HMRC when an employee joins. 

What is staying the same?

  • the way tax and NICs are calculated
  • the need to give employees P60s
  • the dates of payments to HMRC of PAYE income tax and NICs
  • if required, the need to report expenses and benefits on a form P11D and pay class 1A NICs using form P11D(b)
  • the need to provide leavers with a P45
  • the need to obtain starter information. 

How will RTI benefit employers?

RTI is intended to remove admin burdens from employers, mainly by removing the end of year return process. Embedded processes will also mean better data quality resulting in more accurate tax and NICs payments and fewer queries from employees

Improving data quality: what needs to be done and when?

Data quality is key to the successful introduction of RTI. Employers should check the accuracy of their employee data. This involves making sure that surname, forename, gender, address, date of birth and National Insurance number (NINO) are correct and in the right format for RTI purposes. Employers should also make sure that they add staff to their payrolls who will now need to be included with their RTI submissions, for example, those under the lower earnings limit (LEL).

As always, please call us if you have any questions.

Client Testimonials

Wonderful, friendly service. Thank you so much for looking after us!

Faye Chandler, Oliver Chandler Limited

I would gladly recommend Keeley to anybody who is looking for a conscientious, detailed and hard working accounting professional. Both individually, during her career before Magenta, and now as part of the wider Magenta Accounts team Keeley has looked after my financial well-being over the last fifteen years, and has done it exquisitely well. In fact, so happy am I to recommend Keeley, that four of my closest friends now have their company finances managed by Keeley's safe hands at Magenta.

Mike Boreham. Managing Director, Quiddity Solutions Limited

Magenta have handled our payroll and invoicing for three years, and have had an extremely positive impact on Semantic. Between them the team now handle all my personal and professional needs.

Nick Warren. Managing Director, Semantic Limited

Keeley has handled all my tax affairs for many years and I cannot speak highly enough about the professional level of service she has provided. Her efficiency and knowledge mean that my tax affairs are handled swiftly and competently making the whole experience pleasurable and cost effective.

Linda Green

Just a note to say how impressed I have been with Magenta Accounts and the service that you have provided me within my first 6 months of setting up my business. With being a new business, making sure I generate income immediately is vital, so by knowing that you are taking away of all my financial duties from me such as making small payments to providing monthly management accounts allows me to focus more of my time on other aspects such as growing the business and generating revenue. Each member of staff provides a personal and prompt service and it is comforting to know that whoever I speak to at Magenta Accounts, each member of staff is fully aware of my accounts and the current situation. I would fully recommend your company to any business who is looking for a service that not only helps take away the stress of looking after money, but also helps you grow as a business.

Michael Dyble, Managing Director, Dybles Limited

Keeley and her team are fantastic at providing the right advice, expert skills and taking the headache of accounting away from me, allowing me to spend more time on my business, not in it. Highly recommended local, friendly company.

Mike Hayward, Managing Director, Burton Technologies Limited
