Employers are reminded that the deadline for submitting the 2015-16 forms P11D, P11D(b) and P9D is fast approaching. The filing date for all the forms is 6 July 2016. Late submissions can result in penalties being issued by HMRC.

Employers making online submissions will need to correct any problems with the forms before being able to file electronically. Employers who submit paper forms with errors will receive the forms back to be corrected and re-submitted.

Where no benefits have been provided from 6 April 2015 to 5 April 2016 and a form P11D(b) or P11D(b) reminder is received, employers can either submit a 'nil' return or complete the '2015 to 2016 Employer - No return of Class 1A' form. A 'no return to make' form is available online.

Employers are also required to provide, for each employee for whom a form P11D is due, a statement of the information shown on the employee’s form. The statement should also be provided by 6 July 2016.
