Retrieving an FPS (Full Payment Submission) response file after receiving a Real Time Information (RTI) rejection from HMRC is essential for accurate payroll processing.
When HMRC rejects an RTI submission, it signals discrepancies or issues that need addressing. Accessing the FPS response file helps employers identify the specific reasons for the rejection.
This process is crucial for correcting errors and resubmitting the information properly, ensuring compliance with tax regulations and that employees’ payroll details are reported accurately.
