PAYE Modernisation: Meet the experts!
PAYE as you know it is changing - in just a few short months Revenue are revamping and modernising the existing PAYE system. This is called PAYE Modernisation. This new PAYE system will be very different. Instead of a monthly or quarterly P30, a submission containing pay information will need to be made to Revenue each time an employee is paid. This is known as a Payroll Submission Request, or a PSR.
By sending this information to Revenue in real time, it will enable employers to pay the correct amounts of deductions for every employee, also eliminating the need to submit a P35 at the end of the tax year. Overall, this will improve the accuracy, ease of understanding and transparency of the PAYE system for all stakeholders, including employers, employees and Revenue.
While PAYE Modernisation will bring many benefits, some employers are finding it difficult to fully understand the new system; When will payments need to be made to Revenue? Can corrections be made after the submission has been sent? What will happen when broadband is not available or very poor and weekly submissions have to be made?

GDPR and Payroll Processing: Do I need consent from my client’s employees?
Businesses must provide their employees with information on what happens to their data, for example sharing employee’s personal data with a payroll bureau who processes the payroll. Employee personal data can be stored and managed by a payroll bureau, bookkeeper or accountant for the sole benefit of correctly paying their wages, paying the correct tax and providing a payslip. All of this legitimately falls under the remit of the GDPR legislation.
Employee Consent
Many bureaus have expressed concern and confusion in relation to getting consent from client’s employees and securely distributing payslips. Payroll bureaus do not need to seek consent from individual employees that the payroll is processed for. However, the employer will need to inform their employees that they are sharing their personal information with a third party.
An employee cannot withdraw their consent for their personal data to be used as part of the payroll processing. It should be noted that bureaus should keep only the personal data that is strictly required for the purpose of the payroll. This is referred to as data minimisation or privacy by default.
