Completion of P11Ds – Some helpful tips

The following tips should help you avoid making mistakes when you are completing your P11Ds for the 2007-08 tax year. We have pulled them together from the most common errors that people made when they completed their 2006-07 Returns.

We can deal with your returns faster if you avoid some of these common errors:

• make sure the entries on your Return are clear and legible
• use a font size that is clear and readable
• show the employee’s NINO, date of birth and gender
• an electric car, (Fuel Type E), does not have CO2 emissions
• the 'Dates car available from' box should only be completed when the car was first provided in that tax year
• the 'Date car available to' box should only be completed when the car was withdrawn in that tax year. Do not enter 5 April unless the car was withdrawn from 5 April
• when completing interest-free and low interest loans details the 'Dates loan was made' box should only be completed when the loan was first provided in that tax year
• when completing interest-free and low interest loans details 'Dates loan was discharged' box should only be completed when the loan was discharged in that tax year. Do not enter 5 April unless the loan was discharged on 5 April.
