As the Payroll Year End moves closer it is important that you start preparing for it. To help you with your preparation in this week’s blog entry we have included some information on submissions and important dates for you to keep in mind.

• Are you aware that all employers with 50 or more employees must submit their Year End returns online?
• Employees that have fewer than 50 employees needn’t submit online until 2010, but if you do you could benefit from a £75 incentive from HMRC this year!

If you haven’t submitted online before register at http://online.hmrc.gov.uk

Dates for you to remember:

• 6th April- Start of 2009/2010 Tax Year.
• 19th April- Manual payments of PAYE and NI deductions for the final tax month or quarter must be received by HMRC. Electronic payments must be received by 22nd April.
• 1st May- Spring budget, details of any parameter changes required should have reached you.
• 19th May- Your Year End returns must be received by HMRC.
