To submit information to HMRC through BrightPay, you’ll need to add your HMRC Government Gateway credentials to your Bright ID.

Storing Your Credentials

• Your Government Gateway credentials are securely stored under Settings > Gateway Credentials in BrightPay.
• Once added to your Bright ID, these credentials can be used across your employer records.

Choosing Credentials per Employer

• For each employer, you can select which set of Government Gateway credentials should be used by default.
• This is managed in Employer > Edit Employer Details > RTI, under the section:
  “Government Gateway credentials to use for [Employer Name]”.

Per-User Setup

• Each user must add their own HMRC Government Gateway credentials to their Bright ID.

• This ensures that submissions to HMRC are made using the correct authorised details for each user and employer.

   

Automatic Updates to Preferred Credentials

After a successful HMRC submission, BrightPay Cloud automatically sets the Government Gateway credentials used as the preferred credentials for that employer. This means you no longer need to reselect them each time you submit. If you have already set preferred credentials for an employer, these are never changed automatically — they will only update after a successful submission made using a different set of credentials.
