NEW SCHEME REFERENCE NOT RECEIVED IN TIME FOR FIRST FPS; WHAT DO I DO?

5 February 2013

A concern has been raised on the CIPP Real Time Information online forum (SIG) around the impact of delayed PAYE registration once RTI goes live. A member of the CIPP Real Time Information online forum (SIG) posted a concern around registering new employers/schemes and asked what would happen if the first FPS was required and no reference had been received? We have received the following response from HMRC. We will be monitoring this during 2013-14, when there are no late payment or late filing penalties and will consider further changes if necessary. HMRC acknowledges that it can take time to register a new PAYE scheme. In most cases this does not cause a problem because the employer registers their scheme in good time before starting to pay employees. An employer should operate PAYE from the outset. If they need to pay employees before their scheme reference is issued they should start submitting PAYE information in real time as soon as practical once the scheme is set up.

HMRC STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT IMPORTANCE AND THE CUG ISSUES LOG

5 February 2013

On the CIPP LinkedIn group there has been a huge amount of discussion around HMRC’s response to issues raised by its RTI stakeholders.

On the CIPP LinkedIn group there has been a huge amount of discussion around HMRC listening or rather, as the contributors would say, not listening, to stakeholders about RTI. In particular members of the group state HMRC has not responded to or resolved issues from the issues log provided by the Customer User Group members. HMRC's response to this discussion thread is: We are grateful for the help we’ve had from a range of stakeholders, particularly members of the RTI Customer User Group with whom we work in the spirit of open and honest exchange. The RTI issues list is evidence of the input from external stakeholders.
