Employers have been urged to check they are using the updated version of the Basic Pay As You Earn (PAYE) Tools (BPT).
The BPT were updated to version 17.4.17200.477 in December 2017. The old version will cease to submit information to HMRC in February 2018.
To update or check for updates, employers should select ‘Check now’ in the update section of settings in the top right hand corner of the tool. It is also recommended that employers set the automatic update to ‘yes’.
CD ROMs will not be produced for BPT 2018-19 due to a lack of demand. Employers can download the BPT directly from the internet following its release at the end of March. A comprehensive guide on how to install and set up BPT is available online.
