At some point RTI (Real Time Information) will affect you and your business where payroll is concerned – so your response can help us inform HMRC.

If you run your own business then we would like to hear from you by completing this survey which takes less than two minutes to complete.

The survey has now closed and the results will be shared shortly.

Thankyou so much for your support in completing this survey as your responses helped form part of the results of the 'PAYE at the Crossroads' Report by the APPTG:

This survey has been produced by the All-Party Parliamentary Taxation Group and
TaxAssist Accountants and has been sent across the UK to allow your voice to be heard.
