HMRC PAYE System Delay.

HMRC’s Pay As You Earn modernisation programme, intended to bring details together on to one central system, has been suspended due to the workload created by the ‘emergency budget’.

The system had been due to go live in October this year, but this has now been delayed indefinitely and may not be completed in 2009.

The centralisation of the system would remove duplicate records that are currently held, thus decreasing the workload of keeping all information updated, making it more manageable and increasing security as duplicate content means an increased risk of data loss.
