HMRC List of Recognised Payroll Software
Summary
HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has published a list of payroll software recognised for PAYE reporting. The guidance includes both free and paid-for options, with specific recommendations for businesses with fewer than 10 employees.
What changed
HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has released updated guidance listing payroll software recognised for reporting PAYE information online. The document provides links to both free and paid-for software options, categorised by supplier and product name. It also includes advice on choosing software based on business needs and reminds users that HMRC does not endorse specific products and is not responsible for issues arising from their use.
Employers should review this list to select appropriate payroll software that meets HMRC's recognition criteria for PAYE reporting. While the guidance itself does not impose new obligations, selecting and implementing compliant software is a necessary step for businesses to fulfil their PAYE reporting duties accurately and efficiently. The last update was on March 13, 2026, indicating ongoing maintenance of the list.
What to do next
- Review the HMRC list of recognised payroll software to select an appropriate option for PAYE reporting.
