SDST provided the following update:
“In February 2018, SDST updated the RTI technical specifications with details of the RTI Recognition process for 2018- 19. The Recognition process for Expenses and Benefits (EXB) for 2017-18 was updated earlier.
We keep under review the list of payroll software suppliers and products, and will shortly be removing details of suppliers/products which have not successfully renewed their Recognition.
If you had Recognition for your submission product for the previous year and have not yet renewed this for the new tax year, please get your application to us on or before 29 June 2018. Instructions can be found in the 2018-19 section of the RTI technical specifications. For 2017-18 EXB, please refer to these specifications.
Please note that the deadline is for receipt of applications, not for completing the Recognition process. Applications received by the deadline will be acknowledged by SDST and reviewed in the weeks following.
If your product has not had Recognition before, we would encourage you to apply. SDST will be pleased to help you with the process, which we have simplified, and there is no deadline for new applicants.”

HMRC software developer update on Welsh tax changes 20 June 2018
HMRC will provide revised technical specifications, updated test services and payroll guidance later this year and early in 2019, ahead of April 2019 when the Welsh Government will be able to vary the rates of income tax paid by Welsh taxpayers.
HMRC’s Software Developers Support Team (SDST) has provided the following update:
From April 2019 the Welsh Government will be able to vary the rates of income tax paid by taxpayers who live in Wales (Welsh taxpayers).
The UK government will reduce each of the three rates of income tax – basic, higher and additional rate paid by Welsh taxpayers – by 10p. The Welsh Government will then decide the three Welsh Rates of Income Tax, which will be added to the reduced UK rates. The combination of reduced UK rates plus the Welsh rates will determine the overall rate of income tax paid by Welsh taxpayers. Revenue from the Welsh Rates of Income Tax will go to the Welsh Government.
Welsh Taxpayers employed or in receipt of a taxable pension will have the letter ‘C’ (Cymru) as a prefix to their tax code.
Responsibility for many aspects of income tax will remain with the UK government, and the Welsh Rates of Income Tax will continue to be collected by HMRC.
Details of the proposed rates will be announced in the Welsh Government Budget later this year.
In scope
• PAYE (basic, higher and additional rates) • Income from pensions and other non-savings sources • Self-Assessment
