Facility to Provide New Employer Registration Details Online

Following a successful small pilot recently, HMRC has made available an online facility for new employers and agents to provide new employer registration details to request a PAYE scheme to be opened.

Until now, new employers or their agents (including payroll bureaux and other intermediaries) wishing to register with HMRC for a new employer PAYE scheme needed to telephone New Employer Helpline.

Both the telephone and online options are now available.

HMRC will issue an acknowledgement email to all online new employer registration details received.

Following successful processing of the details, the new employer PAYE and Accounts Office reference numbers will be issued by post, as now, usually within 3 working days. A Starter Pack will also be issued too, if requested.
