A new penalty regime for RTI comes in from 6 April 2014, to encourage compliance with the information and payment obligations.
Late filing penalties will apply to each PAYE scheme, with the size of the penalty based on the number of employees in the scheme. Monthly penalties of between £100 and £400 will apply to micro, small, medium and large employers.
Each scheme will be subject to only one late filing penalty each month regardless of the number of returns due in the month. There will be one unpenalised default each year with all subsequent defaults attracting a penalty. Penalties will be charged quarterly and subject to the usual reasonable excuse and appeal provisions.
There are several relaxations in this penalty regime, and we can advise by reference to your particular circumstances. For more information please contact John Elliott.
