Online benefits filing

Harris & Co Northampton based chartered accountants specialising in advising small and medium sized Northampton businesses report that HMRC have issued an update for employers and agents on the development and availability of additional online forms for submitting end of year expenses and benefits information.

The web-based set of forms will be suitable for employers who need to submit expenses and benefits information for up to 250 employees.

At present, two of the new online forms are available for employers - with equivalent forms for agents to use on behalf of their clients. The remaining online forms are in the final stages of development and when delivered, employers and agents will be able to download them to their computer for completion before submission to HMRC.

HMRC aim to deliver the full suite of forms in June 2013, ahead of the P11D filing deadline on 6 July.

More details are available from HMRC.
