HM REVENUE AND
CUSTOMS News Release (Ref:NAT 28/07) issued by The Government News
Network on 9 May 2007
Employers who
haven't yet filed their 2006-07 Annual Return need to do so
by 19 May.
The best way to beat the deadline is online. Open 24 hours a
day, seven days a week, online filing provides employers with the
quickest and easiest way to file their return. And, for employers
with fewer than 50 employees who file a valid return online, there
is a £150 tax-free payment available.
Employers with 50 or more employees must file their returns online.
Don MacArthur, Director of HMRC's Employer Programme, said:
"The last thing we want is for employers to file late and
receive a penalty. The sooner we get the information, the sooner
we can process it. So beat the 19 May deadline, and file now."
Help and advice on employer filing is available on the HMRC
website at http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/payeonline,
or by calling the HMRC Employer Helpline on 08457 143 143.

Note to editors
1. Each year around 1.8 million employers throughout the UK are
required to inform HMRC of the tax and national insurance payments
of their employees for the last financial year. Employers meet
this obligation by sending in a P14 noting each individual
employee's payments and a P35 summarising the details for
their entire workforce.
