Generate an employee list for Revenue
PAYE Modernisation comes into effect from 1 January 2019. To help prepare for this new legislation, the Revenue will ask you for a listing of all employees in your company for their Data Alignment exercise.
Within Sage Payroll (previously known as Micropay), you can generate the Employee List to ROS file. You can then submit this XML data file to Revenue via their website.
