How to specify HMRC BACS Payments for PAYE Schemes?

Cintra IQ provides you with the ability to control which PAYE scheme has the HMRC paid by BACS, particularly useful in cases with multiple employers where only some HMRC payments are made via BACS. This ensures accurate and streamlined payment processing for each scheme.

As a default, all PAYE schemes are set up to be paid to the Accounts Office Cumbernauld. If the HMRC payment is active on the Cintra Cloud, this means that the HMRC liability for this PAYE scheme will be paid by BACS. 

1. To exclude specific PAYE from being paid by BACS, navigate to Payroll → Payroll Setup → Employer Setup.

2. Find your employer on the Employer Definitions window and click Open.

3. In the PAYE & Payrolls tab, double click on the relevant PAYE ref.

4. In the 'PAYE Scheme' window under 'HMRC Bank Account', change the Accounts Office Cumbernauld value to Cheque/Other using the dropdown menu. This action excludes this specific PAYE scheme's HMRC liability from being paid by BACS.

Note: If your normal pay date falls on a non-banking day (for example, 22nd March 2025 is a Saturday), the actual payment date might be moved.
