BROCS
Business Review Of the Collection Service (BROCS) is the Accounting & Payments Service (A&PS) computer system.
Each employer or contractor required to make a return (with the exception of DC cases where the taxpayer doesn’t account for his own NIC) has a record held on this system.
A&PS use these records to
- make bulk issues of returns to employers and contractors near the tax year end
- make bulk issues of reminders for returns and amounts outstanding
- keep a record of payments
- advise the Recovery Office when to follow up outstanding returns
- advise the Processing Office of some amounts overpaid.
