RTI Prices : The number of employees is counted by the number of P60s generated after you complete the Final FPS / Final EPS process at the end of the tax year. Our system will generate the P60 for all the employees you have employed during the tax year, including those who have left during the year and have received a P45 from your company. The Final FPS / Final EPS return is the same as the usual regular FPS / EPS return, except that you need to indicate that this is the Final FPS / Final EPS, that is all. Without completing the Final FPS / Final EPS you will not be able to move to the new tax year.
When Do You Need to Pay for the Service? (Invoicing) : We will only invoice you and ask you to pay us once a year when you have done the Final FPS / Final EPS.
Test Use is FREE : You may sign up before RTI starts and try out the RTI functions. Our Trial RTI does not allow you to e-file any RTI returns. However, you may migrate all your employees to the system and try out all the calculations without making any returns. At the end of the tax year you simply click on START NEW TAX year and tell us that your account was set up to try out our services and all the calculated data was just trial data, then we will move you to the new tax year without any charges.
