HMRC has further extended the PAYE online agents pilot scheme we told you about earlier this year. This service provides agents with access to the same liability and payments information available to their employer clients.
The service has recently been extended and approximately 6,000 agents have already been invited to take part. From 23 August 2021 most agents with up to 500 employer clients will be invited to join the service when they sign into their Agents Online Self-Serve (“AOSS”) account although there is a limit on the number of agents that will be invited each day.
Once again, HMRC wishes to stress that the performance and accuracy of the service is really important. If an agent sees data that appears to be incorrect when viewing the new screens, you are encouraged to click the “Get help using this service” link, leave a description of the problem, and send screen grabs so that HMRC can resolve any problem as quickly as possible.
