HMRC's Basic PAYE Tools - UK only

Post by Jasper »

I saw this on a thread and thought it might be useful.

Basic PAYE Tools is free payroll software from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) for businesses with fewer than 10 employees.

What it does:

The software allows you to perform most payroll tasks, including working out the tax and National Insurance for your employees and sending this information to HMRC.

If you have payroll software that cannot do certain tasks, you can use Basic PAYE Tools alongside it to:

check a new employee’s National Insurance number (NVR)
send an Employer Payment Summary (EPS)
send an Earlier Year Update (EYU) - for the 2019 to 2020 tax year and earlier

Basic PAYE Tools has some limitations. It is not designed for agents or bookkeepers.

Before you start:

You must be registered with HMRC as an employer and have a login for PAYE Online before you can use Basic PAYE Tools.

Download (Windows, Mac & Linux):

Supported operating systems

The following operating systems are supported:
