How can I send forms online?
3.7 Magnetic media
Online filing does not include magnetic media (CD-ROMs, disks and cartridges). So if you are using magnetic media now, you will have to switch to online filing.
When you have to make that switch depends on whether you have 50 or more employees. If you do not file online or send in-year forms online when you should, you may be charged a penalty.
If you are a small employer and you send in your Return using magnetic media,
you will not qualify for a tax-free payment for early online filing.
We will carry on accepting magnetic media for now, but we cannot guarantee
that we will be able to accept your Returns on magnetic media indefinitely.
If you continue to send your P14s using magnetic media, note that the P35
(MT) has been withdrawn, so you will no longer get a magnetic tape version
of the P35. Instead, we will have sent you an ordinary paper P35. Fill this
in, and confirm that your P14s are being sent separately. You must also state
the number of parts being sent which will be the number of ‘Unique Identifiers’
you have used to send your P14s. Do not give the permit number(s), although
you can use the permit number as your Unique Identifier.
