Basic PAYE Tools (BPT)

ERROR MESSAGES WITH BASIC PAYE TOOLS

23 April 2013

HMRC are aware of some common issues that users of the Basic PAYE tools have been experiencing. A list of error messages along with the action required for each message, has been published.

If you receive any of these error messages be aware that your submission has not been successfully received by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).

TAX YEAR END SUBMISSION 2012/13 V REAL TIME SUBMISSIONS 2013/14

1 MAY 2013

HMRC has provided clarification, if clarification is needed at this late stage that year end submissions for the 2012/13 tax year do not have to be made before making your first submission in real time in 2013/14. Confusion appears to have been caused for some employers because some commercial software, as well as HMRC’s Basic PAYE Tools, requires the 2012-13 end of year report to be completed before switching over to the Real Time Information version and enabling the employer to submit a first Full Payment Submission (FPS).

PILOT EMPLOYER USING BPT FOR EYU - SUPPLEMENTARY UPDATE: APRIL 2013

3 May 2013

HMRC has issued a supplementary monthly update for RTI Pilot employers.

This supplementary edition of the Pilot Employer Update aims to cover the Basic PAYE Tools (BPT) and the Earlier Year Update (EYU). You should read this if you will need to use the BPT to submit an EYU.

Many employers who need to send an EYU will find that their payroll software includes that functionality and if that is the case this update will be of no interest to you.

Please be aware that this section was updated on 3 May 2013:

As an RTI employer on the Pilot you will have met your End of Year filing obligations for 2012-13 if one of the following conditions is met by 19 May 2013:-

 We have received a Full Payment Submission (FPS) for the tax year 2012-13 with the 'Final Submission for Year' indicator or the 'Final Submission due to cessation' indicator completed, by 19 April 2013.
