P14S AND PAYMENTS MADE AFTER CESSATION OF EMPLOYMENT

28 May 2012

One of our members received 2012/13 tax codes for employees who had left in 2009/10. This happened as a result of HMRC receiving P14s for 2010/11 which were for payments made in that year, after the employees had left in the previous year. The 2010/2011 P14s did not reflect a date of leaving; so HMRC had re-set up live employment records in the belief that the income reported for 2010/2011 was an ongoing source. This has highlighted a discrepancy in the two employer guidance areas; the CWG2 2012 chapter 1, page 11 and HMRC online guidance P45 employee leaves which will both be updated accordingly. HMRC have said that to prevent the creation of employment where the employer has made a payment after leaving in a tax year subsequent to the year of leaving, then the employer should include a date of leaving on the P14 of either (the date the payment is made or the 05 April for the year the payment is made). Under Real Time Information (RTI) there is a data item for “Irregular Payments” and also if no payments are made to an employee for 3 months then HMRC’s system NPS, will remove the record so these types of issues will be resolved as employers migrate onto RTI.

CWG2 GUIDANCE UPDATED

6 June 2012

We mentioned in our News on 28 May (above) that HMRC would be updating the CWG2 (2012) guidance to reflect a discrepancy highlighted in relation to P14s and the date of leaving. HMRC has now updated the relevant area of guidance in the CWG2 (2012) Employer further guide to PAYE and NICs when submitting a P14 for a payment made after an employee has left and who has already been issued with a P45 part 1.
