How do I send BACS files outside of Cintra?

Modified on Tue, 10 Dec at 2:29 PM

Once your payroll is finalised, you can pay employees using your preferred payment method and report the details to HMRC in a FPS submission. If Cintra is not transmitting your BACS file for you, once you have created your BACS file, you can pick up the file from the designated location, where it was saved on your PC.

When you pay by BACS, the data that is created in the payment file adds a randomly generated code called a Hash tag. This code enables HMRC to match each employee's net payment amount, sent by BACS to the amount sent to HMRC on the FPS.
