Employer Annual Returns

6.13 What happens when you file online

When you file your Return online:

• we will check whole Returns (all the P14s and the P35 sent at the same time) against our Quality Standard automatically when you send it, and will send you an online message to say if we have accepted or rejected your Return. In most cases we will send that message within a minute, although it will be longer for larger Returns (up to five minutes)
• if your Return does not meet the Quality Standard, we will send you a message to tell you that your Return has been rejected, and why. You must put right any errors and re-send the Return by 19 May to avoid a late filing penalty
• we will hold accepted Returns in our electronic store until we start to process the details from your Return onto our taxes and National Insurance systems.
