Online Services: HM Revenue & Customs Email Bulletins for PAYE Software Developers

Introduction

Bulletins are issued from time to time to provide further guidance for PAYE software developers. The aims of the bulletins are to provide assistance in the development of your product – with the result of reducing and eliminating failure of future live submissions. The guidance included in these bulletins is based on results from previous live PAYE submissions but also includes further information that you may find useful.

The benefits are intended to provide:

  • increased customer confidence and reassurance of first time submission success
  • reduction of employer involvement in the correction of errors within the submission
  • improved quality of data sent to the HM Revenue & Customs

To view these documents you need to use a PDF file viewer such as Adobe Reader.
