P11d reporting online

HMRC have announced that online forms P11D, P9D and P11D(b), being the remainder of their web-based suite of forms for employers and agents to submit end of year expenses and benefits information for 2012-13 onwards, are available from June 2013 say Harris & Co accountants Northampton as part of their innovative accountancy services for new business start ups and small and medium sized businesses.

The first tranche of the web-based suite of forms, comprising the "No Return of Class 1A National Insurance contributions" and "Notification of payrolled benefits" forms, were introduced in Aril 2013.

This online service is suitable for employers who need to submit expenses and benefits information for up to 250 employees. Employers and agents can download the new forms to their own computer, complete in stages and make changes prior to submission.

The online service can be used to submit forms P11D, P9D and P11D(b). Employers who previously used HMRC"s Basic PAYE Tools to create forms P11D, P9D and P11D(b) will need to consider alternative methods for completing these forms as the tools do not provide this facility from 2012-13 onwards. The deadline for filing is 6 July.

The online service can also create amended forms P11D, P9D and P11D(b) and forms P11D and P11D(b) for those expenses and benefits that have been part payrolled. However, for 2012-13 , these forms will have to be printed and posted to HMRC. HMRC aims to enable electronic submission of these forms from 2013-14.
