The 19 May deadline for submitting 2008-09 Employer Annual Returns (P14s and P35) has now passed. However, employers who still haven’t filed their returns, must do so as soon as possible to avoid being charged a late-filing penalty.
Employers who have fewer than 50 employees will still be entitled to a £75 tax-free payment if they file the return online, even though the deadline has now passed. For employers with 50 or more employees filing online is already compulsory.
Employers will be charged a penalty if HMRC haven’t received and accepted a full return by:
- 23.59 on Tuesday 26 May if filed online;
- when post is opened on Wednesday 27 May if filed by paper.
HMRC are urging all employers to send in any outstanding returns without delay, or contact their HMRC office if they believe a return isn’t due.
