PAYE

Question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent assessment he has made of the (a) timeliness and (b) accuracy of PAYE Real Time Information data received from employers.

Answer

HMRC does not hold an overall assessment of the level of incorrect RTI. Whilst incorrect data is sometimes submitted by employers, HMRC systems have been designed to use different mixes of that data to match records correctly where possible. The timeliness of RTI has consistently improved, with 95.5% of all RTI submissions being on time in the last closed tax year.
