A Week in Payroll
UK PayPerShop Newsletter {!firstname_fix},

Welcome to this week's UK Payroll Newsletter, featuring our weekly round-up of news items that reveal what is new in the UK for payroll and HR workers to read and consider with care.

This is not a good week for HMRC - announcements about two fundamental errors in guidance provided for employers and an apology for confusing wording on the P35 Annual Return. If you use the P11 Calculator provided on the latest Employer CD-ROM or you use Helpbook E16 to handle adoption rights, do check out the news items.

It is unfortunate that HMRC has also chosen this week to announce that it has commissioned research to evaluate the range of support service and guidance that it provides for employers and tax practitioners.

May is a key month for payroll year-end reporting and the deadline dates for the whole month are included in this week’s newsletter. Remember that May 26, the “drop-dead” filing deadline, is a Bank Holiday this year.

This week’s Employer FAQ considers the obligations of employers towards employee who are members of the Reserve Forces.

If you would also like to keep up to date with what is happening in payroll in the USA and/or elsewhere in the world, you can subscribe to those editions of the newsletter HERE.

If you have any views to share on this week’s news items or on anything you read in PayPerShop, we are always pleased to hear from you. You can share your comments easily in the PayPerShop Forum .

Best wishes,
