Real Time Information (RTI)

PAYE is changing. About Real Time Information (RTI)

>Latest news from HMRC

Please ensure that you do not send submissions for 2013/14 before 6 April as HMRC can’t accept them before this date. Any employers who run their payroll before 6 April for paydays on or around 6 April, should make their first real time submission on their next employee payday. If customers do submit before 6 April then they will get what’s referred to as a ‘namespace error’.

On 6 April HMRC is introducing a new way of reporting PAYE: Real Time Information (RTI).RTI is being introduced to improve the operation of PAYE, making it easier for you, the employer, to operate PAYE. Employees will receive the information more quickly and it will help support the introduction of Universal Credits.

"Real Time Information means that employers and pension providers will tell HMRC about PAYE payments at the time they are made as part of their payroll process. Payroll software will collect the necessary information and send it to HMRC online."

What is PAYE RTI?

RTI will ensure that the PAYE system meets the needs of the 21st century and will make it easier for employers, pension providers and HMRC to administer PAYE. Under RTI, employers and pension providers will tell HMRC about PAYE payments at the time they are made - as opposed to how it is done today, at the end of the financial year.
