HMRC made an announcement on Friday 13th May that as a transitional arrangement we will support RTI reporting through the existing EDI and  Government Gateway channels.
We are extending the timetable for the development of RTI reporting through Bacs and we will publish more information about the revised timetable for the Bacs channel later in the year.
These changes do not affect the overall timetable
