Hi! If you're new here, you might want to register for free email updates. Just use the form at the top of the sidebar. Thanks for visiting The Payroll Blog!

The following points have been covered in earlier newsletters but, as HMRC is issuing reminders to developers, agents and employers in press releases and news items, it may be helpful to remind readers about service restrictions at the end of October.

During the five-day period, 23 to 27 October 2008, HMRC’s PAYE online services for submitting returns and forms will be unavailable while the system is upgraded. During that period, no forms should be submitted online using HMRC’s website facilities. Submissions using computerised payroll systems are not affected. From 27 October, the new A4-size P45 will come into use, although the existing smaller form may continue to be used until the end of the tax year.
