Important PAYE changes for businesses with 50 or more employees

6 April 2009 - you must send employee starter and leaver information - P45s, P46s and P46 (Pen) for pensions - online from this date otherwise you could incur a penalty.

You need to register with HMRC for online services before you can file these forms online, so make sure you register well before the deadline.

Listen to the HMRC podcast
, which explains the changes, and offers help and advice on preparing for them.

Although filing these documents online is mandatory for employers of 50 or more, if you're a smaller employer you can also file online if you wish, and benefit from the time and cost savings.
