2013–2014 interim PAYE penalty letters issued in error
HMRC advise that they have sent a small number interim penalty letters for 2013-2014 in error.
HMRC’s analysis shows that this issue affects only employers who met their filing obligations for the tax year ending 5 April 2014 by sending:
- a month 12 Full Payment Summary with zero financial values, declaring final submission for the year
- a month 12 Employer Payment Summary (EPS) with zero financial values, whether or not declaring final submission for the year
- a month 12 EPS claiming CIS deductions suffered
- an Earlier Year Update with zero financial values
HMRC is updating the records of all employers affected and employers do not need to do anything.
