What is the employment intermediary reporting?
Agencies must make quarterly returns to HMRC giving details of all workers they do not pay through a PAYE/NIC scheme. The return is a report (or reports) that must be sent to HMRC at least once every 3 months. For more information please visit:
Do RSM submit the reports on my behalf?
Employment intermediary submissions to HMRC is additional service we can provide. To activate or find out more information about your return requirements, please consult with your accounts contact.
Intime validation tool
A validation tool is provided within Intime and when ran will perform a check of the data held on each applicable worker to ensure that all the relevant fields required by HMRC have been completed. Workers with missing data will be highlighted for easy referencing.
From the menu bar, click Reports > Employment Intermediaries Report.
Select the relevant reporting period.
Click 'Run Validation'.
A list of workers with a description of the missing data will generate.
EIR Validation tool
The validation tool should be run by you every few weeks to ensure the data held in Intime is up-to-date.
