New Online End of Year Expenses and Benefits forms This year, HMRC started to launch an additional method for submitting end of year expenses and benefits forms, called the ‘Online End of Year Expenses and Benefits Service’. Two new forms have been available since 6 April and the remainder of the service is scheduled for delivery on 19 June. This new service is an additional online filing option to help you or your agent accurately enter the correct expenses and benefits information and submit securely via an HMRC electronic channel. Further details about the new online forms can be found by checking this regularly updated page: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/payerti/exb/onlineforms.htm

New employer pensions information required by 6 July 2013

Employers are reminded that where they sponsor an occupational pension scheme they are required to provide certain information about their employees, to the scheme administrator of the pension scheme by 6 July 2013, in respect of pension input periods ending in the tax years 2011-12 and 2012-13. This is to enable the scheme administrator to calculate whether or not the employee has exceeded the annual allowance for those years. The legislation doesn’t provide an exact list of the information that needs to be given to the scheme administrator, but the scheme administrator must be given such information that will enable them to work out whether the employee has exceeded the annual allowance for pensions savings. It may therefore include details of an employees’ pay for pension purposes and/or the numbers of hours worked by the employee. This information is then used by the scheme administrator to provide the employee with a pension savings statement where they have exceeded the annual allowance. If you think you are affected by this, you may wish to check with your pension scheme administrator precisely what information they require.
