The original deadline was 5 April 2023 • changes to the Research and Development (R&D) tax relief reform, from 1 April 2023 • end of year reporting for employers - from 6 April 2023 all P11D and P11D(b) forms must be reported online.

Failure to pay an accelerated payment notice by the due date can result in late-payment penalties being charged • budget legislation in place as of 15 March 2023, to render void assignments of income tax repayments. This factors in HMRC’s consultation on ‘ Raising standards in tax advice ’. A gents should use nomination forms where a repayment is to be made to them rather than the taxpayer HMRC agent services • clients wanting to set up a Direct Debit (DD) for employer PAYE, needs to be done early to ensure the payment is made on 22nd of every month • DD payments are always collected after the 22nd of a month, meaning that clients may be advised that payments are late. This is not a penalty but an advisory notice from HMRC • clients struggling to pay may be able to set up a time to pay arrangement online if they have PAYE arrears. Agents cannot set up either a DD or an online time to pay arrangement on behalf of clients Other areas also covered in the issue are: • Making Tax Digital (MTD) – updated penalties for late payment and late submission of VAT • support for customers who need extra help • tax agent toolkits • making a complaint to HMRC • HMRC manuals • online training material and useful resources for tax agents and advisers • publications • agent forum and engagement.
