Payroll online dealdine

February 2010

This year ALL employers are required to file their yearend returns online, so there is quite a bit to think about over the coming months, particularly for those who have not yet registered to file online.

DIY filing

If you intend to file your own return online, you will need to ensure that you have registered and activated the PAYE service. If you have a Government Gateway log-on as a business, you can check that you have activated PAYE filing by logging on and checking which services are available to you. If you cannot see PAYE on the list, the service offers you the opportunity to register. Allow time for the relevant pin to be sent through by post.

We can file for you…

Of course you do not have to submit the forms yourself – we can do it for you. Just call and we’ll deal with all the registration and filing formalities.

Problems with incorrect code numbers.

Due to the activation of a New PAYE Service a significant number of Notice of Coding issued by HMRC are incorrect. If you are already registered for online services, changes to your code number will be issued via your electronic mailbox rather than on paper.

If you feel that any variation in your code number looks suspicious let us know and we will check it out for you.

Late payment penalty

From April 2010 payments of PAYE/NIC must be paid by the monthly due dates or penalties may be levied.
