1.3 The benefits of doing it online

Sending and receiving information online is secure and convenient. It is more reliable and efficient than using paper, and can cut down on storage space, post and administration. And because information mostly passes between computers without manual intervention, there is less chance of it being misinterpreted, or of mistakes being made.

Doing it online can benefit employees, too. It means employers can get the right tax code more quickly. And pension and benefit records are updated faster at the end of the year if you send us details online.
