HMRC launch small employer survey

HMRC are launching a survey to gather opinions on changes to tax filing by small employers.

All those with 50 or more staff members or pensioners must currently file annual return forms P35 and P14 online, as well as starter and leaver information forms P45 and P46.

Under new legislation, such employers will be required to file annual returns online from April 2010, and employee starter and leaver information will have to be filed online from April 2011.

The Revenue would like to understand the level of awareness about these changes. The department is asking tax practitioners to encourage relevant clients to complete an online survey.

The names and contact details of those who take part will not be published, but the results will be fed back to HMRC.
