Specification for PAYE tax table routines - proposed rates & thresholds for 2018-19 13 February 2018
Following the proposed change to the Scottish Higher rate threshold, HMRC’s Software Developers Support Team (SDST) has provided an updated specification for PAYE tax table routines.
On 31 January 2018, the Scottish Government published stage 1 of their Draft Budget which contained a proposal to change the Higher (41%) rate threshold for 2018/19 from £44,273 to £43,430.
If adopted, this would affect the bandwidths of the previously announced Intermediate and Higher rate bands.
SDST has provided a copy of an updated “ Specification for PAYE tax table routines ” (version 16.1), based on the thresholds announced on 31 January. The rates and thresholds for 2018/19 are still subject to Scottish parliamentary approval.
SDST will also be providing updated test data examples for 2018/19 once the rates and thresholds have been ratified.

Minor errors in the EXB and FPS Schemas for company cars 14 February 2018
HMRC’s Software Developers Support Team (SDST) has provided information to make software developers aware of minor drafting errors in the EXB Schema for 2017-18 and the FPS Schema for 2018-19 which affect a very small number of employees. This note is to make software developers aware of minor drafting errors in the EXB Schema for 2017-18 and the FPS Schema for 2018-19 which affect a very small number of employees. The errors relate to the P11D and Payrolled Benefits in Kind only, and only relate to cars. The P46(Car) is not affected. The Optional Remuneration Arrangements (OpRA) legislation for cars allows for a negative value for the car benefit in kind, but this was not included in the original Schemas. This occurs in a very small number of situations (less than 200 in total) and could occur where an employee 1) has a car, 2) with a capital contribution, and 3) the car is held for a short period of time.
The following data items should have stated that the format could include negative numbers: * EXB data items (P11D only) o 44 (cash equivalent or relevant amount) o 46 (total cash equivalent of all cars available in 2017/2018 or relevant amount)
* RTI data items (Payrolled BiKs only)
o 149 (Value of benefits taxed via payroll year to date)
