Automatic payroll / submissions

You'll be glad to know that you can make an automatic submission to HMRC, darrylbBeem.

In QuickBooks Online, you'll simply turn on RTI reporting on your QuickBooks account. Here's how:

1. Click the Gear icon.
2. Select Account and settings, then Payroll.
3. Select the pencil Edit icon next to Online filing with HMRC.
4. Make sure that the slider next to Save Gateway credentials is turned on.
5. Enter the Gateway ID and Gateway Password.
6. Make sure that the slider next to Submit FPS automatically to HMRC with Payroll (or Automatically file in Settings) is turned on.
7. By doing so, you’re ensuring that an FPS filing is automatically submitted to HMRC each time you run payroll.
8. Save your changes and select Done.

Once done, you can enter the HMRC reference. It's issued by HMRC only when you have registered online for PAYE for employers. HMRC sends you your PAYE reference with their correspondence. If you don’t have a login, you’ll need to enroll for PAYE Online separately.

1. Click the Gear icon.
2. Select Account and settings, then Payroll.
3. Select the Edit icon next to the HMRC reference.
4. Enter your PAYE reference. The 1st part of the reference is 3 digits and this is the tax office number that deals with your PAYE, for example, 123. The 2nd part of the reference comes after the forward-slash and is your tax office employer reference, for example, /AB456. Enter any letters in upper case.
5. Enter your Accounts Office reference. The Accounts Office reference is 13 characters long, for example, 123PA00045678.
6. Save your changes, then select Done.

If you've not yet received your employer PAYE reference, you must submit the payroll as you receive it and select 'Late reporting reason code G as soon as possible. For more information on this, click here

Once all set, you can submit FPS to HMRC every time you run payroll.
