RTI submissions (FPS and EPS)

RTI submissions (FPS and EPS) sits within PAYE payroll and employment reporting. We begin with the business purpose, the period concerned and the records already available. That prevents a narrow filing from conflicting with the accounts, payroll, VAT returns or personal tax position.

The agreed scope identifies information we need from you, submissions we will prepare, filing responsibilities and any work that falls outside the service. We do not assume a filing, election or relief applies until the underlying facts support it.

Typical evidence may include company records, previous returns, bookkeeping reports, contracts, payroll information, tax calculations and correspondence. The exact list depends on rTI submissions; we request only what is relevant and flag gaps before a deadline becomes urgent.

We cross-check names, dates, accounting periods and prior submissions because apparently small inconsistencies can create rejected filings or mismatched HMRC and Companies House records. If another adviser holds information, we explain what is needed for an orderly handover.

We agree a payroll timetable, process approved changes, complete the relevant submissions and provide clear payment figures. You receive questions in a structured list, a chance to review the material, and confirmation of the action taken.

Where this work affects another return or reporting period, we show that connection so the next filing is not prepared from inconsistent figures.

The deadline for rTI submissions depends on the relevant tax, company or reporting event. We confirm the operative date from the source records rather than relying on a generic calendar, and we explain any information still needed to meet it.

Tax and company rules change. The page links to primary official guidance, but the correct treatment depends on your circumstances. Contact us before acting if ownership, residence, employment status, property, overseas activity or a dispute is involved.
