FSS On-Line Services on IR Services On-Line
The Inland Revenue Department is pleased to announce that on-line Internet services for employers on IR Services On-Line have been extended to employers who employ ten (10) or more employees. Furthermore the on-line services have been upgraded as follows:
- Payments for years 2004 onwards are always available for viewing not just after the submission of the FS7 and FS3 data
- Employers may test the FSS files for 2004 against all validations through their authenticated access
- A spreadsheet will be provided that will serve as an interface between the payroll and the Inland Revenue website. The spreadsheet will have additional facilities that enable the employer to:
- log on securely (through the use of the digital certificate) to the Inland Revenue website
- personalize the spreadsheet with the registration information (PE Number, Name, address etc)
- load the FSS and SSC files generated by the payroll for viewing and possibly modification of the data. If a PE Number has more than one file these can be merged using the spreadsheet.
- Test and submit the end of year information with the Inland Revenue website
- receive the appropriate feedback (Errors, acknowledgements, payments information) back into the Spreadsheet.
The Inland Revenue encourages employers who employ ten (10) or more employees to use the on-line service to benefit from the following advantages:
- Do not need to call personally at the department or send by post the diskette with the files
- On-Line validations will ensure that the data submitted is error free
- Correct submissions are acknowledged on-line
- Improved security and confidentiality in the submission of the information to the Inland Revenue
Employers who intend to use this on-line service will be provided with a digital certificate for authentication purposes and can apply for this service using form IRWEB06.
More information on IR Services On-Line and how to Register for FSS On-Line Services may be found here.
Employers may also authorise tax practitioners to submit FSS end of year documents on their behalf using form IRWEB02.
A circular has been issued to those employers who may use FSS Services on IR Services On-Line
Those employers who have already applied and have been provided with digital certificates are encouraged to access the system and test the end of year files to avoid problems towards the submission date.
Employers (or their representatives) are also encouraged to follow the Electronic Lodgement Specifications as published by the Inland Revenue. The Electronic Lodgement Specifications in PDF format are available for download from here. By complying to these specifications there will be less errors in the submissions and Inland Revenue staff will not need to contact you after you submit the end of year documents.
Employers may submit their FS3's and FS7's through the Internet by the 15th February 2007.
The facility to check the basic file formats for FSS Tax and Social Security Files has been removed after feedback received from employers indicated that there is little value in checking format only, without the actual validations.
