Setting up the UK HMRC RTI Statutory Reporting extension

Setting up the UK HMRC RTI Statutory Reporting extension

This guide shows you how to switch on and configure the UK HMRC RTI Statutory Reporting extension so your RTI Full Payment Submissions are filed with HMRC automatically after each UK payroll run. For what the extension does and why you'd use it, see UK HMRC RTI Statutory Reporting extension: what it does.

Install and enable

  1. Go to Settings → Marketplace Extensions.
  2. Find the UK HMRC RTI Statutory Reporting card (search for "HMRC" if it's quicker), and click it to review the details.
  3. Click Install to add it to your system.
  4. Click Enable. Because this extension needs your HMRC details, a configuration drawer opens — fill in the required fields (marked *) and click Enable to finish.

Settings

Enter the details HMRC has registered for your business. You can change them later by clicking Configure and then Save.

  • Government Gateway user ID * — your HMRC Government Gateway user ID, registered for RTI submissions.
  • Government Gateway password * — the Government Gateway password for that RTI submission user. This is sensitive: it's stored securely and shown masked, so when you reconfigure later you can leave it blank to keep the current password.
  • PAYE reference * — your employer PAYE reference number (for example, 123/A456).
  • Accounts Office reference * — your 13-character Accounts Office reference (for example, 123PA00123456).
  • Sender ID — the software sender ID registered with HMRC for electronic submissions. Optional.
  • Submission endpoint (optional) — leave blank to submit to the live HMRC service. Set it to the HMRC test transaction engine if you want to trial submissions before going live.

Using it day to day

Once enabled, the extension works on its own. Each time a UK payroll run is completed and approved, NexerIQ assembles the Full Payment Submission for everyone in that run and files it with HMRC — one submission per run. There's no separate step to remember and no file to upload. If the same run is processed again, it won't be submitted twice.

Turning it off

To pause filing, open the card and click Disable — your settings are kept and you can re-enable any time. To remove it completely, click Uninstall and confirm; this purges the extension's stored values.

Tip: confirm your PAYE reference, Accounts Office reference, and Government Gateway login with HMRC before your first live run, and consider a trial against the HMRC test transaction engine first. Getting these identifiers exactly right is what lets HMRC accept your submission cleanly.
