HMRC have gradually been introducing various penalty changes and “in year” late payment penalties are something new for this tax year but there has been very little publicity about this latest addition to the employer compliance review/tax investigation/Construction Industry Scheme review regime.
So what does this actually mean from both a PAYE/NIC compliance and CIS compliance perspective – well, it means there are no opportunities to hold onto monthly PAYE and CIS payments to HMRC to aide cashflow and then catch up at the year end. Now paying late will register a default and these defaults will be tracked throughout the year and then only after the end of the tax year will penalty notices be issued – because let’s face it this is when HMRC can obtain the highest yield from you. It has already been confirmed that they won’t issue the notices “in year” so don’t think that you have got away with it because it will be stored up for the end of the tax year and then bang, the penalty notices will arrive.
Statistically HMRC will be looking for unusual remittance patterns so don’t go down the misguided route of thinking “how will they find out?” because you’ll be walking into the next stage of the the new compliance regime that of “real time record reviews”. Keep reading for further updates on this very important development …
