What Hartigan RTI Pro is
Hartigan RTI Pro is Windows desktop software for validating and submitting already calculated payroll information to HMRC. It imports HMRC RTI standard XML or Microsoft Excel data, checks records before filing, and sends reports from the user’s PC through the Government Gateway. Hartigan says the software has HMRC recognition and supports live submissions. Listed submission types include EAS, FPS, EPS, EYU, NI number verification requests, and Outgoing Data Provisioning Service. The application can interface with existing payroll packages directly or through Excel templates and XML files. Hartigan says it connects directly to the Government Gateway without uploading data to a third-party server. Optional administrator and submission password prompts are available. The guide covers NEST employer setup, worker enrolment, contribution schedule updates, and NEST file submission.
