RTI - Annual PAYE Schemes

Annual schemes can be a useful option for many- but particularly one-man limited companies like yours. An annual scheme must meet all of the following requirements:

• all the employees are paid annually
• all the employees are paid at the same time/same date
• the employer is only required to pay HMRC annually

Unfortunately, HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) have been overwhelmed by requests for annual schemes and changes to payment frequencies. As a result, they are currently unable to process such requests. So it is unlikely you are doing anything wrong.

It states on HMRC’s website that they are working to rectify this position and will publish a further message to announce when the matter is resolved.
