Payroll software providers can choose not to support this as the EPS facility is available to the employer through HMRC Basic PAYE Tools service.
Conclusion
To conclude, we remain of the belief that the Employment Allowance (Excluded Persons) Regulations should not be passed in their current format. They place on the employer payroll processes unacceptable levels of administrative burden – not least because the data required within the declaration is not data that is available to the payroll function and so will require significant manual intervention. Other reporting options are available to HMRC and could have been selected – we are extremely disappointed that they weren’t previously considered in public consultation and are concerned at this latest direction of travel as it relates to Government use of the RTI system. However, if it is not possible to change this policy direction and we do have slight optimism that this could be possible given the new Chancellor’s commitment to simplifying the tax system, we believe that employers, together with their service providers, which include payroll bureaux, accountants and bookkeepers, and software developers should be provided with appropriately timely, accurate and detailed information by HMRC that will enable them to fulfil this latest unpalatable policy proposal.

Holiday entitlement calculator temporarily removed 29 August 2019
Our Advisory service have received several queries from members about the GOV.UK holiday entitlement calculator as it has been removed from the website.
We contacted the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and they explained that it has been removed temporarily for maintenance. Due to recent employment tribunal court cases and the changing working patterns that we are seeing, the opportunity is being taken to review the calculator.
We have been assured that it will be back up and running as soon as possible and we will keep your informed through News Online of its progress.

CIPP webcast: Off-payroll working from April 2020 16 September 2019
Draft legislation brings in a new statutory requirement for a Status Determination Statement to be issued by all public sector businesses and medium and large private sector businesses that fall under the new off-payroll rules from April 2020. In June we published a webcast on the new off-payroll working rules, due to come into force in April 2020, which looked primarily at the spring consultation proposals. Since then draft legislation has been published under the Finance Bill and also the government’s response to the spring consultation, which together provide more detail about the design of the reform and the obligations on different parties within the public, private and third sectors, that fall under the new rules.
In this 25-minute webcast, Diana Bruce, CIPP Policy & Research, covers the key changes (including the new statutory requirement for a Status Determination Statement) that will be brought in by the draft legislation (when enacted) and
