Load digital certificates for ERR
Individuals, companies, agents and other entities need the ROS Digital Certificate to access online services for business taxes.
Enhanced Reporting Requirements (ERR) is an additional permission under the employer ROS certificate. Revenue is automatically applying these ERR permissions to the employer certificate, and you can assign them to any sub certificate.
The cert permissions will have been amended by ROS in mid December 2023, so a new cert must have been retrieved following this date. Older certs will not work for ERR Submissions.
📌Note: To assign ERR to a sub certificate, you need to do this in your ROS permissions screen. For support with this, please contact Revenue.
If you use PeopleXD Payroll and PeopleXD Expense as standalone products with different databases, upload the ERR digital cert in both PeopleXD Payroll and PeopleXD Expense. If you keep PeopleXD Payroll and PeopleXD Expense on the same database, only upload the ERR digital cert in PeopleXD Payroll.
Upload ERR digital certificates
To upload the ERR digital certificates in PeopleXD Payroll, follow the steps below.
📌Note: You need to download the digital cert from ROS before you can follow these steps. The file extension must be .p12 otherwise PeopleXD Payroll can't find the file.
Click Manage Payroll then highlight the relevant pay group.
Click Outputs then click ROS.
Click Enhanced Reporting Requirements.
Click Load Digital Certificates.
From the Company drop-down menu, select the relevant company.
Enter the certificate password from ROS then click the upload
icon.
Select the digital certificate file from your computer then click Save.
If you have multiple companies, repeat these steps for each company.
Data Mapping
To identify the country field in an employee's address, you can map address data within the Data Mapping screen. This isn't mandatory and, if you haven't configured this for PAYE modernisation, we recommend you don't configure this for ERR.

Click Manage Payroll then highlight the relevant pay group.
