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.
