Tax Update (August 2008)

P11D (b) Penalties

From Monday the 14th of July HMRC is issuing penalty notices to employers where their records show that they have not received a P11D (b) form for the 2006-07 tax year which should have been with HMRC by the 6th of July 2007.

This form tells them the amount of class 1a National Insurance Contributions due on any expenses and benefits that have been provided to employees and directors of each company.

These will be additional penalties to those imposed in November 2007, and will be £100 per 50 employees for each month that the return is outstanding between the 7th of March 08 and the 6th of July 08.

If you receive a penalty notice that you believe has been issued in error, you can appeal by writing within 30 days to the office named on the notice. Your letter should state your reasons for thinking that the penalty is incorrect.
