HMRC urges employers to file online and receive £150

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is urging small employers in Northern Ireland to file their 2006-07 Employer Annual Return online now, to receive a £150 tax-free payment.

Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, online filing is the quickest and easiest way for all employers to meet their obligation to inform HMRC of the tax and national insurance payments made by their employees in the last financial year.

Don MacArthur, Director of HMRC’s Employer Programme, said: “Filing online is the fastest and simplest way to submit your return, and smaller employers who do so can receive a £150 tax-free payment.

“We are accepting online returns now, so don’t wait for the 19 May deadline, send it as soon as it’s ready.”

Employers who file online via HMRC’s internet PAYE service are also able to benefit from a range of practical help to ensure they file their returns correctly. These include tools such an error alert that highlights mistakes in their returns, which reduces the chance of a penalty for filing incorrect information.

Any employers who would like help, tips and the latest expert advice on online filing for 2006-07 can visit the HMRC website at www.hmrc.gov.uk/efiling/help/mainhelp.htm or call the HMRC Employer Helpline on 08457 143 143.
