Important - Hardware requirements for Accu-Man November 2011 Supported systems Accu-Man software runs on 32-bit versions of Windows XP, Vista & Windows 7. 64-bit compatible programs are due for imminent release, starting with Accu-Man Accounts and Rents. Please contact the Support line if you need further information. It is also possible to run on 64-bit Win 7 computers by utilising the XP Virtual PC. This is not a ‘1st choice’ configuration & users contemplating this route should discuss it with Accu-Man Support first. Accu-Man software can be run standalone, on peer-to-peer networks, on traditional client/server local area networks & on wide area networks over the internet. Please contact Support for advice on network usage, particularly where wide area networking is contemplated.

Message from HMRC July 2011

Wednesday 3 August 00:01 – 06:00

Due to a scheduled upgrade you will be unable to access the HMRC online PAYE service between 00:01 and 06:00 on Wednesday 3 August. This applies to both manual online submissions & to returns sent directly from Accu-Man Payroll.  HMRC apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Government Gateway & Windows 7 users

In some instances, the program that links Accu-Man payroll to the Government Gateway may not have installed fully on computers running Windows 7. If you use this link, or intend to do so at the payroll year end, please test now by going to Payroll Menu [5.5.3].

If you get a message to say that the gateway software has not been installed, or is the wrong version, please contact Support

HMRC Electronic Payments

From HMRC 20/1/2010

"During 2009 HMRC moved its banking services from the Bank of England to Citi and Royal Bank of Scotland Group. This meant that all HMRC bank
sort codes and account numbers changed during 2009.

Although HMRC temporarily continued to accept payments made using the old Bank of England account details, this will change during 2010 when
the old accounts will be closed.

The table attached (although not exhaustive) provides the new bank account details that should now be used for electronic Bacs and CHAPS
payments for a number of key taxes and duties paid to HMRC. These account details are only for electronic payments."

If you pay by BACS or Internet Banking you must amend the payment details via 3.Setting Up/Customers & Suppliers [P]. For your information an extract of the list from HMRC is shown below. For more information visit http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/payinghmrc/bank-account-mig.htm

VAT Returns via Internet

VAT returns with a starting period of 1st Apr 2010 or later must be submited on-line if the Annual Turnover is greater than £100K or you are newly registered.

We are not developing a Gateway routine to process the VAT return because there are many users who make manual adjustments to the returns (partial exemption, special cases, or merged data). There are only the 8 fields to complete in any case.

To register for VAT on-line you need to visit the HMRC Website. For more information go to http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/vat/
