Impact

  • P60 issuance for 2025/26 was due 31 May 2026. Confirm every employee on payroll on 5 April 2026 received their P60 — late issuance can trigger HMRC penalties of up to £300 per employee, plus complaints from staff who need P60s for mortgage and benefits applications. Next major deadline: P11D / P11D(b) for benefits-in-kind is 6 July 2026 (within the next lookahead window). HMRC April 2026 Employer Bulletin (15 April) covers BiK reporting reminders, RTI Payroll ID issues, and removal of tax relief for non-reimbursed homeworking expenses. The 2026/27 rates remain: NLW £12.71/hour for 21+, day-1 SSP, secondary NIC threshold frozen at £5,000.
