HMRC TWELFTH WEEKLY STAKEHOLDER UPDATE
8 April 2013
HMRC has issued the latest update in their informal newsletter to stakeholders. This week’s newsletter contains the last update on Real Time Information before it starts on 6 April. Please do remember this is an informal update shared with representatives for the benefit of members. Real Time Information HMRC is geared up and ready for Real Time Information - the biggest change to the Pay As You Earn (PAYE) system in nearly 70 years. Many of you will have seen our adverts in the paper and online or heard our radio campaign. While most employers have taken the steps they need to be ready, we know there are still some who need to take action by: o Going to www.hmrc.gov.uk/rti to help them choose the best payroll option for them. o Updating their employee records so that they are ready to start reporting in real time. We are offering employers a range of support and guidance, including web pages, YouTube videos, live Q&A webinars every day, regular live Twitter Q&A sessions, and road shows across the country. There is also a wide choice of payroll software available, including some free products (e.g. HMRC’s free Basic PAYE Tools). For more information about this support, go to www.hmrc.gov.uk/rti PCS Union has announced a half day strike for Monday 8 April which may result in a reduced service in our contact centres on that day. Employers and their payroll service providers are reminded to check the website for guidance before contacting HMRC.
