Sage 2012/2013 payroll update

Jo Legg

Hi all from wintery Hastings by the sea!

I am a part-time employed bookkeeper and I also work on a self employed basis. Sage Payroll is used at my employed work and we pay for Support and Updates at the end of each tax year.

Sage are telling me that I need to pay for Support and Updates for my self employed software aswell as I cant use the update CD for more than one program and that I must buy the software support and updated from them. This is fair enough but surely I can just get the new legislation from HMRC,as I dont really want to have to pay for the same thing twice!

Thanks

But presumably your software needs to be updated or it won't know the new rates and allowances even if you do?

Unless this is something you can manually update yourself on Sage..

I assume there are 2 separate sets of Sage Payroll we are talking about here? In which case each one will require the proper updates only available from Sage (the legislation cannot be updated manually). If, however, Sage Payroll is operating more than One Employer (Company) on One software program, then only one update will be required.
