Submit to RTI
Once you submit a Full Payment Submission (FPS), HMRC is notified of the payment date. This date is essential to determine your PAYE bill for the month. It is essential to know the date you submit the FPS and the corresponding HMRC Tax Period.
HMRC will use this information to assess whether your submission is timely or late.
Ensure accurate and timely FPS submissions to avoid potential penalties.
