HMRC has issued a press notice reminding employers that they must stop paying Working Tax Credit via their payroll by the end of March.

Employers should have received a final "stop notice" for each of their employees in receipt of Working Tax Credit. If they haven't, they should contact HMRC immediately to arrange a stop date.

On no account should employers make Working Tax Credit payments to employees after 31 March 2006.

If employers' payroll arrangements mean they would not normally pay Working Tax Credit for March until April, they can contact HMRC's Employer Helpline (08457 143143) to arrange an earlier stop date.
