administrative aspects. They also need to factor in technical matters, although many of these will immediately raise policy considerations that may be outside the OTS’s brief.
The CIPP would like to feed your views in to the OTS review. This survey gives you the opportunity to explain any of the obstacles you come across when trying to comply with the PAYE regulations or indeed any of the processes you find run smoothly. The survey is very short and should only take you around 10 minutes to complete, although that of course depends on how much you need to tell us!
The survey will close on 19 June 2014. Thank you for your help.
Business Tax Dashboard improvements
27 May 2014
HMRC has improved the information and supporting guidance on the Business Tax Dashboard PAYE screens following customer feedback.
The main changes can be seen on both the Business Tax Dashboard's 'Current position' screens and in the information that employers can find using the "(?)" help icons.
For example, the screen changes and revised help information for "Amount paid in period" and "Amount due in period" now provide more detail on:
how the amount due is calculated when HMRC updates the 'Amount due' shown on the screen the payment date how payments are allocated and reallocated the Employment Allowance
HMRC has also added links to existing employer guidance to provide further information. Other Business Tax Dashboard screens and help icons have been similarly improved to help clarify the data that employers see. CIPP comment The CIPP is really pleased to see further improvements to the dashboard. It has been the root of much confusion for many employers when trying to reconcile their accounts. We hope HMRC will continue to invest in the dashboard and make even further improvements to assist their customers.
