For employers wishing to test the accuracy of their payroll system or to give staff practice in performing gross to net calculations, the Revenue's test data is a useful tool. The tests are provided particularly to help payroll software developers check that their systems give accurate results, but they have other practical uses within the payroll department.

The three volumes of test data that apply to the Payroll Standard Accreditation Scheme have been updated and may be downloaded from the Revenue's e-business site. A fourth volume provides test data for some areas of payroll business that are not covered by the current version of the Payroll Standard, i.e. NICs aggregation and SAP and SPP for adoptions.
