EXPENSES AND BENEFITS FOR EMPLOYERS – P11D

Employers who provide expenses or benefits to employees or directors may need to inform HMRC and pay tax and National Insurance on these expenses.

The most commonly known are company cars, health insurance, travel and entertainment expenses and childcare.  Depending on the type of expense or benefit will result in what you have to report and pay.  The HMRC website has an A-Z of expenses and benefits.

The deadline for submission of P11d’s and payments are detailed below, so be sure that you submit what is needed and by the deadline.  Penalties will be charged if these are missed.
