A payroll client of mine pays discretionary bonuses usually twice a year. Do these fall to be included in the holiday pay calculations? I should add that these bonuses are related to the company's performance and not to that of the individual.
Taking a wider view, why is it that cfield's clients are in receipt of child benefit anyway, given that family income as stated is over £100,000? If their joint income is that high, why do they need support from other taxpayers?
Am I right in thinking that G Brown Esq invented this lunacy?
Late on Monday evening, I got multiple emails from HMRC, some saying the 2 submissions were unsuccessful, then 2 saying they were successful and then two more saying unsuccessful.
From what I can gather, although not one of the submissions received the appropriate handshake from HMRC, some of them must have got through, hence the emails. I think my submissions sent after the ones that went through triggered the later "failure" emails because I also got an error message saying "You've sent a duplicate original" or words to that effect.
I did my first RTi FPS yesterday in about 20 seconds start to finish but I think RTi filings use a different pathway to HMRC.
Plea to HMRC - don't upgrade your systems at times of the year which are critical to your customers and don't tell us that's what you do every year as that clearly is not the case.
I'm still trying to file 2 P35s (non-RTi). Both had wk53 runs so couldn't finalise until late Friday. Have been trying to file them ever since, starting at 10.23am Saturday, through Sunday and virtually the whole of this morning. My Earnie software submits a Submission Request, which I presume to mean a hand-shake to establish contact, with no response from t'other end whatsoever! Still trying.
I've been using Earnie, now an Iris company, for years. They have supplied me with RTi-compliant software and I've been in the pilot scheme since July. I've got nothing but praise for the Earnie product and for their support staff.

Thanks Catlady. You mean they actually allow something other than their preferred choice? Stunning!
I don't have any mobile signal where I work. What am I supposed to do, apart from move?
To my mind, this is tax evasion on a grand scale.
Can I be the only one to smell artificiality?

Usual disclaimers.
