Expenses and benefits: payrolling policy review questionnaires
HMRC is considering possible changes to the reporting, tax and NICs procedures that apply to employer-provided expenses and benefits. In particular, we’re looking at the possibility of collecting tax and NICs through the payroll rather than through existing P11D/P9D processes.
Currently, no formal system is in place to allow for payrolling of expenses and benefits. However, a small number of employers, agents and payroll bureaux already have experience of using this method – typically under an informal agreement with the employer’s local tax office.
If you’re one of these businesses we’re very keen to hear from you - to help us gather as much evidence as possible about the costs and benefits that payrolling entails. We’d also like to hear from you if you’ve payrolled expenses or benefits in the past.
If you’d like to help with this research, please choose the appropriate online questionnaire from the two links at the end of the page – one is for employers, the other for agents and payroll bureaux.
The questionnaires don’t require you to provide any personal details and HMRC will only use any information you provide for the purposes of this research.
Your completed questionnaire must reach us by 31 July 2009.
