HMRC apologise for incorrect P800s
10 October 2014
HMRC have acknowledged that a number of incorrect 2013-14 tax calculations (P800) and payable orders were issued to customers in a three-week period from 15 September.
The HMRC announcement says:
This issue only affects a small proportion of the 2013-14 P800s and payable orders which were issued in this three-week period, and the issue is limited to Income Tax only. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is urgently investigating this matter to resolve the issue. In the meantime, those customers who think their 2013-14 P800 may be wrong should contact our helplines for further advice before making repayments or cashing cheques. We are sorry for any worry or inconvenience caused. CIPP comment While this is obviously worrying for those involved, it is reassuring to see that the potential numbers are much lower than suggested in some areas of the media earlier.
HMRC Employer Bulletin - October 2014
16 October 2014
The latest bi-monthly edition of HMRC’s Employer Bulletin has now been published.
As always the Bulletin is full of useful information and reminders for employers and their agents and bureaux, including:
Confirmation that Temporary SCONs will no longer be valid from April 2015, by which date employers must quote their correct SCON
Details of the guidance transition to GOV.UK, and Clarification about the Scottish rate of income tax.
Payroll giving statements
16 October 2014
HMRC has confirmed that there is a (maybe little known) obligation on employers to provide statements to leavers confirming payroll giving deductions in the year of leaving.
HMRC have acknowledged that the guidance about this obligation, introduced by a 1986 Regulation, needs to be improved and this is now in preparation.

20 October 2014
