Real Time Information RTI in Andica Payroll Software

Reporting in Real Time

Real Time Information or RTI as it is commonly known is a new PAYE reporting system for submitting payroll and pension data to HMRC, introduced with the view to improve the operation of PAYE.

Real Time Information RTI system requires all payroll data i.e. details of employees (and pensioners) paid through payroll, PAYE, National Insurance and other related payments and deductions is submitted every time an employee is paid rather than annually when a business submits its end-of-year tax return.

Unless HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has already notified them otherwise, all employers have to submit all PAYE information to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) in real time. Each time you pay an employee you must submit details about employees' pay and deductions to HMRC using payroll software.

Andica Payroll software for tax year 2013-14 includes RTI Real Time Information features for submissions of various returns that will need to be sent to HMRC during the course of the year. The software includes following RTI returns:

It is essential that all payroll data for employer and all employees is accurate, complete and correct before you submit your first RTI submission.

This is a brief summary of routines. As payroll processes vary from one company to another, routines listed do not contain all of the data entry routines that may be required for your specific payroll.
