HMRC updates its list of recognised payroll software
HMRC has updated its guidance page listing payroll software that is recognised for reporting PAYE information online. The page covers both free and paid-for options, so businesses of different sizes and budgets can find something suitable.
If you run a payroll — even for just one or two employees — it is worth checking the list to make sure the software you use is on it. Using recognised software helps ensure your PAYE submissions reach HMRC correctly.
There is no immediate action required beyond checking the list if you are already set up. If you are yet to choose payroll software, or are thinking of switching, the updated page is a good starting point.
