More information about RTI payroll

Real Time PAYE was introduced in 2016. At the time, it was the biggest change to HMRC payroll legislation since 1944.

The aim of Real Time PAYE was to help modernise the pay-as-you-earn (PAYE) system. It makes it easier for HMRC to ensure deductions for tax and National Insurance are correct in a world where people change jobs more frequently or have more than one employer.

Real Time PAYE makes life easier for your business too, because you no longer need to submit annual payroll returns or send forms to HMRC when people join or leave your company.

Getting started with Real Time PAYE

If your business has employees, you must use payroll software to submit real time data to HMRC every time you run payroll.

It doesn't matter if you pay staff weekly, monthly, all at once or individually, nor how many staff you have. Every time you run payroll, you must submit your Real Time PAYE data.

You must use Real Time PAYE software to submit your payroll data. HMRC does not accept data submitted on paper or in other formats.
