Employer Guidance - Planning for PAYE Online Filing
In issue 12 of Working Together, we told you about important changes in the way employers will have to file their end of year returns.
Over three weeks from 1 November, we will be sending a letter to around one and a quarter million employers, explaining how online filing affects them.
The letters will be issued along with 'Do it Online: Your Guide to Filing PAYE Returns and Paying Electronically', a brand new publication which explains:
- what the online filing deadlines are
- how employers with fewer than 50 employees can get up to £825
tax-free for early online filing
- the benefits of doing it online
- how to file online (changes are currently being made to the Revenue's website to make it easier) and pay electronically.
Some letters incorporate a tear-off appeal against the requirement to pay electronically or the decision that they do not qualify for early online filing bonuses. Appeals have to be made in writing to the employer's PAYE office within 30 days of receiving the letter.
We are not sending a copy of the letter to the employer's agent or accountant. So, employers should show the letter to whoever handles their payroll.
Employers should contact their PAYE office if they haven't received a letter by the start of December.
The September edition of Employer's Bulletin tells employers that they should contact their PAYE office if they have not received a notice by the beginning of December and also says where to get more information.
