Year-end Filing: HMRC's own online year-end filing facilities are already available for use for 2007/08 Returns. However, they will not be available between 6 am on 4 April and 6 am 6 April, during which period HMRC will be updating its PAYE Service for changes to legislation.

However, the period of restriction is expected to be only between 12 noon and 8 pm on 5 April for employers using third-party software to file their returns. It will still be possible to send Returns during that period but there will be no response until the end of the 8-hour period.

In-Year Filing: It will not be possible to send forms P45, P46 and pension notifications over the Internet using third party software or HMRC's own filing facilities between 2 April and 8 April. If any forms are sent during that period, a "1046 Authentication Failure" message will be sent, meaning only that the service is closed. If it not possible to wait until 9 April to send forms, paper forms may be ordered and used instead. Full processing capability for in-year forms is expected to be in place by 14 April.
