In an email to software developers, it has been confirmed that HM Revenue and Customs’ (HMRC’s) planned changed to RTI hours reporting will be delayed until 2026 at the earliest.
The email reads:
Employees’ hours data – requirement delayed
Due to delays owing to the General Election and the lead-in time required to upgrade software and processes to prepare for implementation, employers will now not be required to start providing more detailed employees’ hours data through PAYE Real Time Information returns from April 2025. This requirement will not apply until April 2026 at the earliest. Final decisions on whether to go ahead with the regulations and any timelines will remain subject to decisions by the new government.
Should the CIPP policy team get any further information we will update you, but it is good to see a pragmatic approach that will allow employers and software developers time to accommodate the planned changes.
