Small Payroll package

Yes, pretty much instant - in most cases
However, there have been instances when the Revenue server goes down or submissions are stuck at 'Pending'

Last December, for instance, a large employer submitted a large quantity of deletes that slowed everything down considerably. Again on 22 Jan 2020 there were reports of delays.

(In Cloudpay you know the submission has gone through when the 'Revenue' figures match the Cloudpay figures in the submission screen summary tab.)

Thanks, yes its there, so how do I pay the taxes due to Revenue?

You can set up a variable DD in ROS and then they take the actual amount due for any month on the 23rd of the following month. This is the handiest I feel as once set up you don't need to remember it.

Alternatively you can go in each month and once the liability is accepted you can do a payment via RDI. But you'll have to remember to do that each month.

Can it be paid in advance of the due date as well?

After the 5th of the month the statement for the previous month will be on ROS. If you are in agreement with it you can accept it and then go to payment. The default will be 23rd of month but you can replace that with date of your choice up to the 23rd.

If you are transferring only one payment, it might be easier to do a standard bank transfer rather than a SEPA file. As far as I'm aware, banks can charge a fair amount for SEPA transfers.

Agreed

So I decided to pay the tax for Jan payroll yesterday in ROS.
I have an RDI set up for PAYE-EMP which I presume is the correct tax code, so will it be paid automatically if I take no action within ROS?

If you're paying by RDI then when you go to the monthly statement for January you need to accept it & select your RDI as the payment method. It will then default to 23/02/2020 as the payment date. Just as if you were doing any other RDI payment like VAT etc.

If you want to go more hands off then you set up a variable DD for PAYE/PRSI. Then provided the monthly statement agrees with your submissions you can do nothing, the statement will go deemed accepted after the 14th of the month ( or you can manually accept it ) and they will take the amount by dd on 23rd of the month. I find this handy as you can largely forget about it once you check the statement is correct.

RDI payment always requires taxpayer input for them to take it.
Var DD and they take it automatically.
