Real time reports amended
HMRC have made updates to the guidance for employers on reporting PAYE information in real time:
- “late reporting reason” can be entered on a full payment submission that will be sent late;
- being able to make the first 2014/15 PAYE submission any time after 6 March 2014;
- providing bank account details on an employer payment summary to get quicker repayments;
- new fields on an earlier year update (EYU) for 2013/14;
- new online appeals facility being introduced in 2014/15;
- more details about what counts as a reasonable excuse if a report is not filed on time; and
- information for employers exempt from filing or unable to file online
PAYE error
HMRC’s business tax dashboard is faulty for month eight for some PAYE schemes. Some employers may notice that payments made to the Revenue between 21 November 2013 and 16 January 2014 are not showing correctly. The problem arose because of an IT change on 21 November. HMRC will not pursue apparent debt relating to the issue. The department will correct the data for the affected schemes over the next few weeks.
