To help you with selecting the upgrade you need and to update you on the legislation reasons for the payroll upgrade. These reasons are also listed here - Tax Rules - UK April 2001 -

To establish a price for upgrading your current software to a different Sage product simply follow these guidelines.

If you have a comparable Pegasus product, you can allow a 30% discount from the cost of the Sage product.

If you have a Sage product without Sage Cover and you are simply upgrading to a more expensive piece of Sage software you will pay the difference between your current software and the one you are upgrading to.

If you need the latest version of your current Sage package then simply purchase the Sage Cover for that software and you will get the automatic update to the version. (If you already have Sage Cover in place you should already be receiving the free updates).

You can upgrade your old Sage Sterling software to the latest Sage Line 50 version 7 for significantly less than the original package. You will need to provide us with your licence/ serial number and your full name/ address, postcode and telephone number. Please ensure these are in the comments on your order form.
