RTI STARTER GUIDANCE UPDATE
2 April 2013
HMRC have published a brief update to starter guidance in advance of 6 April where all relevant PAYE guidance for employers will be updated to reflect the go-live of real time information. The aim of this update to starter guidance is to help increase accuracy for individuals with a P45 and more than one job. In such cases, instead of selecting statement C (from the starter declaration) and operating code BR, the employer should select statement B (within their software) and operate the tax code on the P45 - unless the tax code on the P45 is BR, 0T or D prefix - in which case statement C would still apply.
Individuals without a P45, or with an old P45, will continue to complete the starter declaration to confirm their employment situation.
The full guidance on the starter process will be updated and available from 6 April 2013 in HMRC's guide Notifying and getting new employee information right
HMRC acknowledge that the starter process guidance had gone through several iterations, in some instances after payroll software upgrades have been issued and so, for 2013-14 have stated that they will accept situations arising where payroll software reflects an earlier iteration that does not follow this new process.
