Reconciling RTI Details

For RTI (Real Time Information) reporting, the employer needs to submit Full Payment Summary / Employer Payment Summary to HMRC in real time.

  • An FPS (Full Payment Summary) is submitted to HMRC each time employees are paid, this could be monthly, weekly fortnightly or on an adhoc basis for supplementary pay-runs.

  • An EPS (Employer Payment Summary) submission is made to HMRC once per tax period (monthly), reporting totals per tax period for certain values that may affect the employer's liability. The totals on the EPS are an accumulation of certain values reported in the FPS totals during a tax period.

It is important for Employers to ensure the accuracy of the figures sent to HMRC on the FPS as this drives their liability declaration on the EPS and the amount of Tax and NI paid to HMRC. If HMRC disagree with the amount of Tax and NI paid by an employer it is essential to be able to prove the accuracy of the figures.

PeopleSoft provides the facility to generate three reconciliation reports that can be used for this purpose.

  • FPS Reconciliation: Compare values reported in the FPS file to actual payroll result values.

  • EPS Reconciliation: Compare values reported in EPS and ensure they agree with values reported in the FPS file.

  • Payroll Reconciliation: Calculation of employer liabilities owed to HMRC for tax and NI.

Using these Reconciliation reports, the employers can check that their Real Time Information totals match those of their payroll results on a Period to Date (PTD) and a Year to Date (YTD) basis.
