BACS payments to HMRC

This option creates a BACSTEL file to pay PAYE / NI payments directly to HMRC. To use this function you must have entered an HMRC BACS reference number in System Setup.

IRIS Payrite produces the file in the BACS-18 format, other formats are not supported so you should check your BACS software to confirm compatibility.

Producing an HMRC BACS payment file:

1. Click on the Payrun icon.

2. Go to the Yellow Book menu and select Make PAYE BACSTEL File. You will see the BACS parameters screen appear.

   

3. IRIS Payrite will generate the processing date and tax month to be paid based on the current date so you should not need to enter these, although you can override them if necessary.

4. You can select the File Format from the drop-down list, the two options are for a full BACSTEL file or a short BACSTEL file.

   

5. Finally, select a location to generate the file in, you can use the Browse button to select a location on your system.

   

6. Click OK to generate the BACS file.
