e-Filing Set Up and Implementation 

Use

The e-Filing Set Up and Implementation section describes the various steps you must take to implement the e-Filing for Great Britain functionality and set up electronic communication between your systems and the Inland Revenue's (IR) secure Internet service, PAYE Online for Employers - Internet. You access this IR service via the UK Government Gateway.

This Gateway comprises a web site providing a central registration service for many of the different Government services. It also supports registration and enrolment for Inland Revenue Online Services, including PAYE Online for Employers - Internet.

The e-Filing for Great Britain component is designed for use only with the IR PAYE Online for Employers – Internet service.

The IR also offers the PAYE Online for Employers – Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) service. The e-Filing component for Great Britain does not support use of this EDI service for electronic filing.

For detailed information on how to activate PAYE Online for Employers –Internet, see Activating your PAYE Online For Employers Service.
