Review PAYE modernisation pay group parameters

Agent TAIN

To identify the agent submitting returns on behalf of the employer, use Tax Advisor Identification Number (TAIN).
​
With this, you establish a link between the employer and agent for the relevant payroll period.

Enable this parameter when an agent runs payroll on an employer's behalf.
​
The agent must enter their Agent TAIN number for their pay groups.

Shadow Payroll

This parameter indicates if the pay group is running for a Shadow Payroll.

To run a Shadow Payroll, enable this parameter.

Previous Periods

This parameter indicates if the pay group can be run for Previous Periods.

To delete a previous period submission file, enable this parameter.

Exclude Pay Group

This parameter is used if the pay group is to be excluded from PAYE Modernisation.

This disables the PAYE Modernisation Validation Checks for this pay group. For example, if there is no requirement to submit the Payroll Submission for the current period before running payroll jobs in the next payroll period.

Bulk Transfer

Used in conjunction with Revenue Bulk Transfer of employment functionality.
​
Requires pre-approval.

Use this only after you receive permission from Revenue and Core to use the Bulk Transfer of employment functionality.
​
This results in a bulk move of employees between tax-registered companies with no start or end dates reported in the final file from the old pay group and the first file from the new pay group.
