The first of the employers'
end of year reports, form P35 summary of payroll taxes and the
P14 salary summary for each employee were due by May 19th.
The Inland Revenue require
employers to file a form P11D for each employee by July 6th,
2004. The form declares all expenses reimbursements made in
the tax year and also reports the monetary value of Benefits in
Kind.

Each employer must complete
a declaration - for a specimen click here
- and calculate the rate of National Insurance Contributions the
employer must pay as a result of any benefits in kind. Do remember
that there are automatic financial penalties for late submission.
If the Declaration is
late then the penalty is £100 per month. If individual P11Ds are
late then the penalty can be up to £300 per form. Employers can
apply to the Inland Revenue for dispensation from reporting certain
types of expenses reimbursed. Generally, they will have to show
that a system of management control exists to verify employees'
expenses and the company should have been operating for at least
3 years. We can assist with such applications and advise on the
types of control procedures required. Whether or not companies
meet the filing deadline of July 6th, they are required to make
payment of the National Insurance Contributions on benefits by
July 19th.
