Query Re HMRC's IT Shutdown



Regarding HMRC's shutdown until Monday of various IT systems (for upgrading), will this form of shutdown occur when RTI is up and running?

Tax does have to be taxing.

  1. Probably.

    The shutdown which is currently under way is one of two which occur every year (the other one in April).

    The April ones are usually just to adjust HMRC's systems to include the new tax year (and to drop any out-of-date years from those systems).

    The October ones are usually (as in this case) to do with other 'enhancements' to the system to try to improve their performance. This time, for example, it includes changes to try to get the Self Assessment and Pay As You Earn computer systems to play more nicely with each other.

    RTI won't make any difference to either of these as far as I can see. The RTI information passed from employers to HMRC will simply be queued to be run onto the PAYE system once it goes back live.
