Preparing for Mandatory Payrolling of Benefits
In an aim to simplify tax, the payrolling of benefits will become compulsory from April 2026, with draft legislation expected later this year. HMRC have confirmed that the 2025-2026 tax year will be the last year that P11D’s and P11D(b)’s will be accepted in most cases.
