two.1.4) Short description
This digital project aims to ensure the Insolvency Service (INSS) complies with HMRC's guidance on the correct application of tax and National Insurance (NI) in the Redundancy Payments Service (RPS) through a digital solution. It will also identify broader system improvements to enhance compliance, efficiency, and customer experience. Key objectives include addressing data gaps by making changes to the RPS online application and IP Upload Service, customising the case management system (CMS) to handle new data. The current finance system (Business World) does not fully meet the needs of RPS, and the Calculation Engine will need a review, so all combinations of payments are calculated correctly. A solution is also needed to allow the calculation of NI at point of payment, rather than point of calculation. Other changes to the finance system are needed to improve the accuracy of reporting, submission of Real Time Information to HMRC and accommodate any other improvements needed to facilitate seamless integration.
