Similar to paying HMRC, the Pay Third Party functionality allows you to combine payments, from different payrolls to third parties, into a single payment file and makes a payment run to a third party person or company/organisation. A third party payment can be for union dues or child care etc.
Good to know
If you have a union contribution on a weekly and monthly payroll, you could use the third party payments to combine the contributions from both payrolls so you are only paying the union one amount. Once you have created your payment file, you can either submit it to Cintra to send to the third party on your behalf, or save it to your computer to send it at a later time.
Now that you have created a third party payment file, you can you can use Cintra to pay your HMRC payments.
