New online forms for benefits-in-kind and expenses
From April 2013 HMRC are providing small to medium sized employers with an additional method for reporting end of year expenses and benefits information.
HMRC have introduced a web based set of forms called 'Online end of year Expenses and Benefits forms', which will be useful when submitting employees' expenses and benefits information online. Initially there will be just two new online forms available but more will developed in time.
Employers can still choose to use their own payroll software if it provides the function to submit the forms online or alternatively use 'PAYE Online for employers'. The new online forms simply offer employers another choice should their software not support the reporting of expenses payments and benefits. Employers who currently use HMRC's Basic PAYE tools to run payroll will need to consider alternative methods for completing forms P11D, P9D and P11D(b) as the tools will not provide this facility from 2012/13 onwards.
From April 2013 employers can use an online form to:
- Send a 'No Return of Class 1A NICs'.
- Tell HMRC that they have payrolled all expenses and benefits provided to their employees and now intend to send this P11D information online.
