Payroll that files RTI directly to HMRC
Run payroll, generate payslips, and file Full Payment Submissions and Employer Payment Summaries to HMRC in real time — as part of the TaxStats Platform, alongside your bookkeeping, VAT and year-end accounts.
Real Time Information, done properly
Submissions go to HMRC over the Government Gateway, are validated against HMRC's own RTI schemas before they are sent, and every one is polled to a definitive accepted-or-rejected answer — a rejection is shown with HMRC's actual reason, never left looking like a success.
Full Payment Submission (FPS)
- Filed to HMRC on or before each payday, with a gateway acknowledgement and a polled accept/reject verdict for every submission
- Corrections filed as an additional FPS with restated year-to-date figures — the current HMRC route
- Late original submissions carry the correct cumulative position
- Leavers reported with their leaving date, including a missed leaving date caught up on the next FPS
- New starters with starter declarations; changed Payroll IDs signalled with the payroll-ID-changed indicator
Employer Payment Summary (EPS)
- Employment Allowance claimed per tax year, with the remaining balance tracked against approved runs
- Small Employers Relief position drives statutory pay recovery at the correct rate
- CIS deductions suffered reclaimed where applicable (limited companies, with the Corporation Tax UTR)
- No-payment periods declared for months with nothing to report
- Recovery figures derived from the statutory pay your runs actually paid — never hand-keyed
The payroll around the filing
Weekly, monthly and annual pay runs
Run weekly and monthly payrolls side by side for the same employer, each filing its own FPS on its own cycle — plus annual schemes for directors paid once a year.
Current-year tax tables
PAYE calculated cumulatively on the current tax year’s tables — including Scottish and Welsh rates, K codes, directors’ NI, and student loan deductions by plan.
Payslips
Payslips generated for every run — downloadable as PDF, or emailed to employees as password-protected documents.
Timesheets, holiday and statutory pay
Hourly pay from approved timesheets, holiday entitlement and leave records, and statutory maternity, paternity, adoption, shared parental and sick pay calculated within the run.
Pension auto-enrolment assessment
Every pay run re-assesses each employee against the auto-enrolment thresholds, with postponement windows tracked.
Approval before anything is filed
Every FPS and EPS needs a named signatory’s approval before it goes to HMRC, and a filed run becomes read-only. Nothing is submitted silently.
Built for practices and employers alike
Accountancy practices
File for your clients as an agent: submissions go under your practice's own Government Gateway agent credentials, stored once at practice level — never re-entered per client — with the agent details block on every FPS and EPS. Weekly, monthly and annual client payrolls run side by side, and every run carries a signatory approval before it files.
How we work with clientsSmall employers
Run your own payroll and file under your company's own Government Gateway login, stored encrypted against your company. Payroll sits inside the same platform as your invoicing, bank feeds and VAT — payslips, pensions and RTI without a separate payroll product.
Business plans & pricingSwitch mid-year without breaking your HMRC record
RTI is cumulative, so moving payroll software mid-year is where employee records get damaged. We treat the switch as a first-class flow, not an afterthought.
- Employee records imported from Xero and FreeAgent, including each employee’s existing Payroll ID
- Year-to-date figures captured as opening balances, so your first FPS continues the year rather than restarting it
- Payroll IDs carry over unchanged — or a change is declared to HMRC with the payroll-ID-changed indicator, so no duplicate employments are created
- Switching from other software? A guided opening-balances screen captures the same continuity figures from your final payslips or P32
- The first submission after a mid-year switch is checked for continuity before it can be filed
