Run the Pay/Pension Numbers process. |
As part of the process for updating employees' tax codes, HMRC requires employers to submit a list of their employees, including the following information:
Employee name
Employee NI number
Employee ID
This allows HMRC to update their systems with an up-to-date list of employees in preparation for the tax coding notification for the next tax year.
The MT3 - Pay/Pension Numbers process creates a file containing this information, formatted to the HMRC requirements.
See HM Revenue and Customs Submission Instructions and Technical Specifications "Updating of Pay/Pension Identity Numbers" – Reference MT3
Use the MT3 - Pay/Pension Numbers GBR page (GPGB_PPIN_FL) to run the Pay/Pension Numbers process.

Once you have successfully run the Pay/Pension Numbers process, you need to:
Prepare your magnetic media.
The HMRC guidelines specify the types of media accepted and the format of information for each media type.
Copy the file generated by the Pay/Pension Identity Numbers process to the prepared media.
The process creates an output file in the %PS_SERVDIR%\files directory on the machine where your Process Scheduler runs.
