HMRC “quality standard” for P11Ds
Deadline.P11Ds (returns of benefits and expenses for employees and directors) for 2017/18 must be submitted no later than 6 July 2018 or HMRC will fine you £100 per form. The same deadline applies to Form P11D(b) , which is the declaration form for Class 1A NI for benefits you report on Forms P11D . Both forms can be completed and submitted online or on paper and must meet HMRC’s “quality standard”, i.e. include specific information about your employees and the benefits, or they’ll be rejected (see The next step ). Tip. Submitting P11Ds online has the advantage of checking the information meets HMRC’s standard as you prepare the forms so they stand much less risk of being rejected.
