HMRC appreciate that some payroll software products will have existing defaults that don’t fit with this amendment and that it is too late to change these products for 13/14. If any employer realises that they are unable to comply with this instruction, because the revision has come after their software upgrade, they should contact HMRC. HMRC guidance will be updated shortly. HMRC support is currently available for pilot employers via the direct email route and dedicated helpline which will be closing from 5 April when the general Employer Helpline 08457 143 143 will take over.
