PAYE filing deadline extended

Further to internal problems with PAYE online, HMRC have confirmed that the filing deadline for 2006/07 end of year PAYE returns will be extended for this year only to 28 May 2007. In addition no penalties will be charged if returns are received later due to "reasons outside your control".

In making this announcement, HMRC have apologised for recent difficulties, saying

"We know that some agents experienced difficulty sending their clients’ Returns in early May. We are sorry for the inconvenience that caused. We can confirm that we will not charge a late filing penalty if we get a Return by midnight on 28 May. And if you still cannot send your Return by then, we will consider discharging any late filing penalty if you can show that you could not send a Return on time for reasons outside of your control."

HMRC have also confirmed that they will still pay the £150 tax-free incentive payment to employers with fewer than 50 employees as long as their return is sent online, even if HMRC receive get it after 28 May.

Those who have not registered for PAYE Online can still do so and receive the electronic filing incentives on offer.
