Missed PAYE payments a thing of the past

HMRC set to launch new direct debit system

Many employers have been left frustrated in the past when they have only been able to set up Direct Debit to collect a single PAYE payment.

Plans have been announced to offer a recurring direct debit to employers.

HMRC are undergoing a modernisation process and, as part of this, employers will finally be able to set up a direct debit mandate authorising their payments to be collected monthly, based on their Real Time Information (RTI) submissions.   

Employers should be able to access this service mid-September 2022 and will be able to set this up in their Business Tax Accounts.

N.B.

You must have your own Business Tax Account to access this service. A third party agent will not be able to set this up for you.
