Unbelievable

Not the news, which is good and justified. The assertion by Ruth Owens that this is to allow employers to sort themselves out. Not time for HMRC to sort out the debacle that is their computer system that is even now spewing out incorrect late filing notices then.

Well spotted

I look forward to Employer Bulletin No.46, due this month, with some interest (i.e: with more interest than I usually accord to this publication).

This proves that the timetable for RTI was unworkable from day one. It's just like Universal credit. Shambles. This is what happens when you have incompetents running the country. See flooding response.

HMRC should pay filing penalties

Just checking client's PAYE login with HMRC. It says they have paid December's PAYE twice, almost £20k, and should adjust their next payment accordingly. We know HMRC is wrong and they haven't paid it twice, perhaps we could ask for a refund, lol.

Spin doctoring

Given the political damage that RTI failure could create it is to be expected that some spin doctoring has to be the order of the day.

"Let's blame the employers rather than us" say an incompetent management under political pressure.

It is rather unfortunate that a prominent payroll software supplier has been seen today seemingly repeating the spurious economical with the whole truth story that HMRC have been generous in delaying penalties for a year to allow employers to sort out their compliance issues.

So far as I can see (from a recent TaxLine article) HMRC management needed to be educated by Working Together regarding HMRC-end RTI system defects and the consequent resulting errors at HMRC end.

It is about time that penalties were a two way  thing - employers and their advisiors should be able to receive compensatory amounts (say fixed penalties for simplicity) in respect of  HMRC's non-compliance with supplying a compliant receptacle for RTI filings and management of said data.

In my excitement I put the wrong year.

Apologies.
