RTI Pilot

February 2012 

We announced in August last year that we had been accepted for the HMRC pilot for RTI. RTI is a major change in the way payroll data is reported back to HMRC that is being phased in between April 2012 and April 2013.

We are pleased that we have been given the opportunity to build experience before this becomes mandatory so we can ensure the process is seamless and problem free for all our customers. The project is progressing well and the first of our customers will be going live in April, with more to follow in July. Each has committed significant time and resource to this pilot.

Once the pilot is complete, HMRC will be encouraging more employers to start using RTI from August 2012 onwards. If you are a customer of Sage HR & Payroll and interested in this please contact us on 0845 245 6405 so we can help you prepare. It will be compulsory for some employers to use RTI from April 2013 with all employers required to use it by October 2013.
