Overview
The payroll platform uses your Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) settings when submitting Real Time Information (RTI) to the HRMC. These details inform the HMRC who is lodging these RTI events for your organisation and provide them with the needed information to process your requests.
The HMRC settings feature allows you to enter your financial information, such as your organisation's tax office details, RTI settings, and EPS submission process. The feature is also where you can declare if you need to pay the apprenticeship levy and if you have reported this figure for this financial year.

So you have now set up your HRMC settings and you are now wondering what next can I do. There are two recommendations I would make on this front and they are:
- Payroll platform: Pension settings This feature is where you set up your workplace pension details, such as your staging date and re-enrolment dates and whether to sync with an existing provider or add your pension scheme and contribution plans manually to the platform.
- Payroll platform: Setup my Organisations Business Details This feature allows you to update your organisational information, such as your legal entity used within your payroll platform.
