P11D deadline looming

The forms P11D, and where appropriate P9D, which report employees and directors benefits and expenses for the year ended 5 April 2012, are due for submission to HMRC by 6 July 2012. The process of gathering the necessary information can take some time, so it is important that this process is not left to the last minute.

Tax event due on May 3

The following Tax Events are due on 03 May 2012:
Deadline for submitting P46(car) for employees whose car/fuel benefits changed during the quarter to 5 April 2012
What this means for you?
This deadline is relevant to employers who provide any employees with the use of a car. The form P46 (car) only needs to be completed where a car is first provided or an additional car is provided, or an employee ceases to have the use of a car without replacement. Where one car is merely replaced with another, this does not need to be reported. The completion of the form enables HMRC to amend the individual's coding notice to reflect the change in benefit.

Changes to household expenses rules . . .

HMRC are increasing the guideline rate which employers can use to reimburse employees for additional household expenses. See the full story on our website - http://www.clayshawbutler.com/ard/eNEWS_Article.asp?AID=518&ID=2941
