Avoid late-filing penalty for your 2008-09 Employer Annual Return

The 19 May deadline for sending your 2008-09 Employer Annual Return (P14s and P35) has now passed. If you still haven’t filed your return, you must do so as soon as possible to avoid being charged a late-filing penalty.

If you have fewer than 50 employees you will still be entitled to a £75 tax-free payment if you file your return online, even though the deadline has now passed. If you have 50 or more employees, filing online is compulsory.

You will be charged a penalty if HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) hasn’t received and accepted your full return by:

  • 23.59 on Tuesday 26 May if you file online
  • when post is opened on Wednesday 27 May if you file by paper.

Send your return without delay, or contact your HMRC office if you think a return isn’t due.
