Information about Real Time Information (RTI) PAYE reporting

HM Revenue & Customs has introduced a new way of reporting PAYE called Real Time Information or RTI.

By law, employers now have to submit information about all PAYE payments to HMRC online every time a payment is made as part of their payroll, whether weekly or monthly, rather than at the end of the year, as is the case now (although HMRC has announced a "relaxation of reporting arrangements for small businesses").

According to HMRC: "Until 5 October 2013, employers with fewer than 50 employees, who find it difficult to report every payment to employees at the time of payment, may send information to HMRC by the date of their regular payroll run but no later than the end of the tax month (5th)."
