PAYE RTI (Real Time Information) gets its millionth customer

Real Time Information (RTI) successfully went live on 6 April 2013 when most employers were required to start reporting PAYE in real time. According to HMRC, over 1 million PAYE schemes have successfully started to report PAYE in real time.

Ruth Owen, HMRC’s Director General Personal Tax, said:

“RTI is bringing PAYE into the 21st century, and it is amazing that we have reached the one million mark in less than a month. This is at the top end of our expectations. However, we’re  not complacent and are carefully monitoring submissions, but so far things are going well. We have had lots of feedback from many employers saying that RTI is easy to use. We know it will take time before all employers adapt to RTI but any who haven’t started reporting in real time should do so quickly. All the help they need is on HMRC’s website.”

Guidance on reporting in real time is constantly updated on the HMRC website and includes hints and tips for employers. It can be found at www.hmrc.gov.uk/rti
