RTI from 2 softwares

Can I use 2 software's for same payroll?

Didn't find your answer?

I'm pretty sure I know the answer but can someone confirm I'm correct (or sadly mistaken) please?

Client uses (& is happy with) SAGE for their payroll. Can I use Moneysoft on the same PAYE reference to manage and submit CIS deductions?

It would look like an accident waiting to happen.

Chaos awaits.
If you do try let us know how quickly HMRC squeak and let us know what happens. We like a good laugh

Some points.

Can you make sure that Sage and the other software both use Unique identifiers for each person? a doubling up of that, will cause all manor of issues.

second point, how do you get round the FPS/EPS submissions considering two different softwares have two different sets of information?

I think people are confusing matters here. The opening question is about running payroll and CIS from within two different programs, NOT the same payroll on two different programs.
PAYE and CIS are two different submissions altogether and quite happily run apart on two different programs.

That would depend on whether the cis was withheld from a customer receipt, which would need an EPS, rather than withheld from a subcontractor payment.

Isn't that a different issue altogether? The question is asking if they can separately report payments withheld from subcontractors

Thanks for all the replies so far. To clarify, this is payroll on one software, CIS deductions on another. There is no CIS suffered (company is gross status) so no confusion with regards to that.

There's no duplication of data anywhere and only one EPS would ever be submitted.

Having spoken to the client this morning again, they already use 2 systems because the CIS is typed into the HMRC portal whilst the payroll comes from SAGE. I'm therefore a bit more comfortable that this will work.

Yes 100% as I have the same set up with one of my clients too.

It seems like such a faff when they could do payroll and CIS on Moneysoft or BrightPay. Each to their own I guess.

No problem with this . My client operates the payroll and files with HMRC and I use Moneysoft for CIS submissions. Never encountered a problem
