HMRC’s new system for processing PAYE, the National Insurance and PAYE Service (NPS), so that each taxpayer has one single record containing all their PAYE details, is being introduced in three phases.
The first phase was delivered in June 2009. The second was introduced earlier this week. This included enhancements to coding processes and will allow HMRC to complete the annual tax coding run in January 2010 using the NPS for the first time.
It also enables the new system to flag up automatically, any PAYE cases that have missing information, so that HMRC can look into putting these right.
