4.2 E-Filing Services
The Website also acts as a venue where you can E-File your various RTI forms such as FPS, EPS, NVR, EYU, P11D, P11D(b), P46(cars), P9D, Pension, CIS monthly returns and Verifications and others to be added from time to time as we think suitable, on an "as is" and "as available" basis.

The validation of the E-Filing documents is based on the published HMRC Schema and Business Rules and some additional rules which we may impose. You undertake that all the required rules are fully complied with.

You understand that under the law you are obliged to e-file various returns to HMRC and ensure that the returns are truly and properly completed during each tax year. If, for whatever reason, you fail to e-file your Returns on time the system may only allow you to e-file your late returns no later than 10 months after the immediate past tax year deadline. Should you still be unable to complete your late returns within 10 months of the immediate past year deadline you accept that to e-file your returns you will have to deal with the HMRC directly or with another e-filing system.

4.3 Downloading Services
The downloading services may include the download into your payroll system of the P6, P9, SL1, SL2, RTI and other notices due to your company from the HMRC, and other various notifications and notices to be added from time to time as we think suitable, on an " as is" and "as available" basis. You understand that the downloading of the above mentioned documents from HMRC's Data Provisional Service (DPS) server is only possible if you log in to the HMRC DPS through our system to download the respective documents.

4.4 Auto Tax Code Updates
The system does provide the facilities allowing users to automatically update their tax codes. However, you accept to take the full responsibility to check through each and every tax code update to ensure that the tax code update has been successfully executed.

4.5 Employee Access to Internet Payroll Accounts
This is important information for any employee who is invited by his or her employer to sign up for an employee Internet Payroll Account with this Internet payroll service.

You understand that all employers have the right to make use of modern Internet technology to conduct their business, including running the payroll and e-filing employee returns online. However, as an employee you have every right to find out from your employer at any time what Internet payroll means for you and its implications. If, for whatever reason, you do not like what you have found out about this Internet payroll service from your employer and from our website you have every right to raise your objection with your employer. It is up to any employee and his/her respective employer to resolve the matter between them.

For security and privacy reasons we will not access any signed up user's Internet Payroll Account nor interfere with any employer as to how the account is to be used within the services we provide. For the same reason we will not deal with anyone other than the employer who acted as the originator and initiated the account. Nevertheless you understand that this will not prevent you as an employee from exercising your legal right or raising your objections to us directly. Any objection to the Internet payroll only be accepted if it is made in writing. Any court order we receive, if any, will be complied with in full.

4.6 Mobile App and Services
The Mobile App Payslips or other mobile services we may provide are available through your mobile Device when it is within the servicing range of the wireless carrier you subscribe to. Access to and use of the Mobile App from your Device is subject to transmission limitation, delays, or interruption due to, hardware, software or network problems as well as government or regulatory restrictions, exchange rulings, court or tribunal orders or other human intervention;

You acknowledge and agree that neither ASimplePayroll.com nor its subsidiaries, affiliates and/or its licensors will be responsible for or liable for the capabilities or reliability of your wireless service.

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH USING A DEVICE, INCLUDING MOBILE APPLICATIONS ON A DEVICE, AND THAT IN THE EVENT OF THEFT OR LOSS, YOUR CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION COULD BE COMPROMISED.

4.7 Work Place Pensions Letters
You understand and acknowledge that the Work Place Pension related letters in the system were created by non-legally qualified personnel. Your usage of the Announcement of Work Place Pension letter, the Auto-enrolment letter, the Entitled Job Holder letter, the Non-Qualified Job holder letter, the Qualified job holder letter and Postponement letter and any other Work Place Pension related letter are solely your responsibility, with no recourse to us. You hereby further confirm that you will only use these provided Work Place Pension related letters after you have consulted qualified legal personnel or the Pensions Regulator.

4.8 Disposal of Data / Deletion of Accounts / Closing your Account
You accept that in order to make our cloud system work efficiently we will place any account that is not active for more than 12 months into INACTIVE ACCOUNT "cold storage". To keep an account active the account holder has to file a full Final Submission for the Tax Year (FSY). If you do not do this your inactive account will be suspended and moved into cold storage. If you fail to file a Final submission for the Tax Year (FSY) your account will not be moved to the latest tax year and after 12 months it will be deemed as inactive and you will no longer be able to sign in to the account. You accept that the charge to you for us to move an inactive account back to an active account is £200 plus VAT.

You have the right to close your account with us at any time, and you accept that once your account is closed this closure can not be reversed and you and all the associated users under this account will permanently no longer be able to access the data under this account. For a payroll agent - your own company account, your clients' accounts and all the employees under your account, etc will no longer be able to access the payroll data of any kind. For an Employer - all your company and employees' data under the account will be closed permanently with no access to it ever again. For an Employee - if you closed your account you will no longer be able to access the payroll account set up for you over the Internet or mobile device.

All users - including but not limited to Payroll Agents, Employers, Employer Agents and Employees - you accept that if you want to close your account, you must do this yourself by completing the provided process yourself. This involves signing in to your respective account, then clicking on the Close Account option and then following all the steps given to complete the process. If you do not complete this process your account and associated data will not be closed.

You accept that for security reasons (e.g. email requests can be fraudulently created or phone calls can be made under false pretences) we will not act on your behalf to close your account and any request made to us by email, phone call, or other means, for us to close an account for you will not be entertained.

If you are an employee and disagree with this closing account process you can request that your employer does not issue you with ePayslips and other statutory documents via Internet or mobile accounts and insist on having paper versions of payslips, P60 etc. Having an ePayslip account is an optional choice and you have every right not to use it and continue with paper versions.

4.9 E-Filing User ID and Password
By entering and leaving your E-Filing details in our Website, namely your HMRC User ID and Password, and/or other details, you declare that you are the authorised person to do so. In so doing you are giving the instruction to us to automate the E-Filing and downloading facilities available at that time. You undertake to remove your HMRC E-Filing details, such as the HMRC issued User ID and Password, if you wish to withdraw from the automatic E-Filing or downloading facilities after each E-Filing or download.

4.10 Starting a New Tax Year
You understand that once you close the current tax year and have started the new tax year, all your previous tax year data will be frozen and cannot be amended or rolled back. You therefore accept that you will always make a thorough check on your complete tax year's data before you start the new tax year. HMRC may from time to time make changes to their E-Filing Business Rules which may warrant that you amend your current tax year data in order to comply with their E-Filing requirements. You therefore understand that it is always better for you to complete your E-Filing before you move to the new tax year.

By registering and using our Website you undertake to use these provided facilities solely for the above mentioned purposes.
