Further to concerns about the number of changes to tax codes, which left some employees with less them half their pay after tax, payroll management information service Payroll Alliance carried out a brief survey of employers.
The aim was to gather statistics to present to HMRC to demonstrate that all tax codes should include a 50% regulatory limit, not just K codes.
HMRC will be holding business-and-employer advice days at the end of March. The informal events will provide a chance to meet the Revenue’s team of tax advisers, listen to talks on a range of tax subjects, and ask questions about the department’s rules and procedures.
Topics to be covered include self-employment, VAT, first steps as an employer and real-time information.
