Frequently Asked Questions

What is HMRC approved payroll software?

The correct term is ‘HMRC-recognised payroll software,’ rather than ‘HMRC approved payroll software,’ ‘HMRC recommended payroll software’ or ‘HMRC accredited payroll software.’ HMRC doesn’t recommend any payroll software over another. It’s essential that to process payroll, service providers’ software is HMRC-recognised. 

HMRC maintains a list of recognised payroll software providers. For software to be recognised by HMRC, it goes through rigorous testing to ensure accurate calculations and successful transfer of all relevant data to HMRC’s payroll systems. Software must meet strict security requirements for data processing, storage and transmission.

Does HMRC payroll software make pension deductions?

HMRC-recognised payroll software manages pension deductions by integrating pension schemes seamlessly into payroll processes. Outsourced payroll service providers automate pension calculations, ensuring accurate deductions in line with pension regulations and employee contributions. This streamlines the administration of pension schemes, reduces errors and ensures the employer complies with HMRC’s pension auto-enrolment requirements.

Not only does PayCaptain’s HMRC-recognised payroll software offer a suite of pensions, but other highly valuable employee benefits include payroll savings, savings pots, salary advances and other wellness features including SmartPay, payment splitting, flexible payments and payroll giving.

Why should I choose HMRC software for payroll?

Choosing HMRC-recognised payroll software means businesses keep compliant with UK tax regulations through accurate calculations and timely submissions. Businesses benefit from up-to-date tax calculations, clear and easy-to-understand online payslips, seamless integration with HMRC payroll systems and robust security measures. Payroll software that’s HMRC recognised streamlines payroll processes and minimises the risk of errors, saving time and reducing costly penalties.

Does HMRC payroll software integrate with other systems?

Integrated with best-in-class HR and workforce management solutions, PayCaptain delivers a seamless HR and payroll experience for both employees and payroll team. Increasing transparency and accuracy, real-time open APIs let HR and payroll data flow in both directions, for robust, up-to-the-minute reporting and improved decision-making.
