Validate Employee PPSNs with Revenue before PAYE Modernisation
Do you need to validate your employees’ PPSN details with Revenue.
Revenue is encouraging all employers to validate their employees’ PPSN details well ahead of 2019 and the implementation date for PAYE Modernisation. This is to ensure that 2019 RPN details (the replacement for P2C files) will be correct.

It’s a simple process in both our Payroll products and […]
PAYE Modernisation – using a common Employer Registration Number
Do you have multiple payrolls, where one or more is especially confidential?
Then you’ll need to get separate Employer Registration numbers, one for each Payroll you run.
Under PAYE Modernisation, if you have multiple separate payrolls all linked to the one Employer Registration number, then whenever an RPN file (the new P2C replacement) is requested, you will get the details for all Employees associated with that Employer Registration number, even if they are calculated in different payrolls.
And if you calculate some employees through your in-house payroll while other employees are calculated through a third party bureau, if both payrolls have the […]

Along with other changes coming into effect from February 1st, this Conversion Service is to be withdrawn by most […]
Closure of the SEPA Business Service – SBS. Are you affected?
The SEPA Business Service (SBS) for processing Direct Debits against Business Debtors closes on February 1st 2016.
All Debtors, including Business Debtors, will be able to claim a “no quibble” refund for up to eight weeks on all SEPA Direct Debits posted to their Account on or after February 1st, 2016.
The SBS scheme was originally introduced to give Creditors confidence that monies collected from Business Customers by Direct Debit under the SEPA Scheme would not be automatically refunded by their Bank in the event of a claim from the Debtor. This was a reasonable measure during the initial SEPA implementation […]
