But RTI doesn’t start until 6 April – so we have written to our stakeholders asking them to work with their clients or members to ensure that they do not send submissions for 2013-14 before 6 April (unless they are in the pilot) as we 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.
We expect to see a gradual increase in PAYE schemes reporting in real time because the date of each employer’s first submission will depend on the day they pay their employees.
The full RTI launch follows a successful year-long pilot, which saw over 6 million individual PAYE records being reported in real time. Learning from our experience with the pilot, we will be carefully tracking initial submissions through the system which means that although employers will receive an acknowledgment as usual, other responses may take a little longer during the first few weeks. We are taking these extra precautions to ensure that we are doing everything we can to get it right. PAYE for employers - Real Time Information: starter process guidance amended HMRC has amended the guidance on the starter process to reflect customer feedback on starter declarations, to help increase accuracy for individuals with a P45 and more than one job.
