Employer Bulletin 48 published

HMRC have offered assurances that the migration of their employer guidance to the GOV.UK domain will not suffer technical gremlins. There will be no broken web links, according to the department.

The statutory payments, expenses and benefits guidance, employer payroll publications for 2014/15 have already been moved. The remaining PAYE information for employers will be published on GOV.UK shortly.

The Revenue says guidance will be available on both HMRC.gov.uk and GOV.UK “for a short time”, and during the summer “content will continue to be improved and added to before customers [sic] are expected to use only GOV.UK”.

Anyone trying to access a page on the HMRC site will be automatically redirected to the “most appropriate page on GOV.UK”, says the department in Employer Bulletin 48.

The latest edition of the bi-monthly update for employers includes details on expenses and benefits reporting, Revenue toolkits, the employment allowance, recording the scheme contracted-out number, changes to the civil penalty scheme to prevent illegal working, and the direct earnings attachment.

On expenses and benefits reporting, details must be submitted to the department on form P11D or P9D by 6 July 2014. There is also a reminder about paying class 1A National Insurance. An electronic payment for contributions declared on a P11D(b) return for the year ended 5 April 2014 must clear into the HMRC account by 22 July 2014.

The tax department says, to ensure the payment is correctly allocated, the employer should use the 13-character Accounts Office reference followed by 1413. Employers can check the reference number.
