TAX CHIEF: 'WE DON'T NEED AN RTI PLAN B'

摘要

HMRC's chief executive Lin Homer has admitted the tax office does not have a back-up plan should the planned overhaul of PAYE cause the system to keel over. Responding to MPs' questions at the Treasury Select Committee on the department's effectiveness, Homer was adamant that the measures in place to cope with the impending Real Time Information (RTI) programme were sufficient. Homer explained that many of the peculiar ways employers pay staff -that could cause the system to fail - have been considered in the testing stages already carried out, with the test cases being a mixture of those handpicked for their unusual systems and those participating voluntarily.
