CIPP Payroll: need to know 2019-20

The aim of this questionnaire is to understand the experience from your perspective, from collating the information through to submitting the form and any subsequent amendments.

All responses to this questionnaire are anonymous and you will not be asked for any specific customer information. This is not part of any compliance intervention and the team running this does not have responsibility for handling your tax affairs. Any information you provide will be used to better understand the administrative burden of HMRC’s customers, the reasons why amendments to the original form P11D are necessary and whether the current process could be improved.

But don’t delay, the survey closes at 4pm on Friday 14 February!

QuickPoll results: Has the delayed Budget had an impact on your payroll department? 25 February 2020 As the original Budget was scheduled for 6 November 2019, but was then been moved to the substantially later date of 11 March 2020- a matter of weeks prior to the new tax year- the CIPP wanted to assess the impact that this delay has had on the payroll departments of its members, if any. The results can now be revealed!

An impressive 333 responses were collected in relation to the question, ‘Has the delayed Budget had an impact on your payroll department?’ over the two-week period that the survey ran for. The breakdown of those were as follows:

Yes – significantly: 86 (26%) Yes – moderately: 141 (42%) No: 106 (32%)

The majority of responses highlight the fact that the delayed Budget has had an impact on payroll departments throughout the country- 26% of respondents reported that the extent of this was significant and a staggering 42% confirmed that the delay has had an impact, albeit a moderate one. Only 32% of participants reported no effect whatsoever on their payroll department due to the delayed Budget date. The CIPP, and the payroll profession as a whole, breathed a sigh of relief last week when Rishi Sunak confirmed that the Budget date would remain as 11 March 2020, following on from Sajid Javid’s shock resignation from the post of Chancellor of the Exchequer earlier this month. Speculation is rife as to what the contents of the first post-Brexit Budget may be, but concrete confirmation will only be provided on 11 March 2020.
