Notice Information

Notice Title

Redundancy Payments Service Calculations and Service Development Project

Notice Description

This digital project aims to ensure the Insolvency Service (INSS) complies with HMRC's guidance on the correct application of tax and National Insurance (NI) in the Redundancy Payments Service (RPS) through a digital solution. It will also identify broader system improvements to enhance compliance, efficiency, and customer experience. Key objectives include addressing data gaps by making changes to the RPS online application and IP Upload Service, customising the case management system (CMS) to handle new data. The current finance system (Business World) does not fully meet the needs of RPS, and the Calculation Engine will need a review, so all combinations of payments are calculated correctly. A solution is also needed to allow the calculation of NI at point of payment, rather than point of calculation. Other changes to the finance system are needed to improve the accuracy of reporting, submission of Real Time Information to HMRC and accommodate any other improvements needed to facilitate seamless integration.

(c) The work is being done to ensure that the Insolvency Service (Authority) complies with HMRC's advice regarding tax and National Insurance (NI) to components paid by the Redundancy Payments Service (RPS). All relevant HMRC tax and National Insurance (NI) guidance has been thoroughly reviewed and documented. The legislation and guidance have been carefully assessed in conjunction with the Department for Business and Trade's Legal Team and HMRC, to ensure compliance with the latest regulations and to determine the precise requirements. (d) This process is also expected to highlight the need for broader improvements to the service to accommodate the required changes. It will also provide an opportunity to identify other areas where significant enhancements to the RPS systems can be made to address other known problems, improve efficiency and user experience.
