P11D Explained

With deadlines looming for P11D forms our payroll processors walk you through everything you need to know about the P11D.

P11D

What is the P11D?

The P11D is used it to tell HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) about employee’s ‘benefits in kind. The form is submitted annually and details the benefits provided for each employee.

 

When is the P11D due?

HMRC’s deadline for P11D submissions is 6th July 2023 and Late submissions and/or payments to HMRC can result in financial penalties and interest.

 

How to complete forms P11D forms

There are different rules for what employers have to report and pay depending on the type of expense or benefit they provide. Types of benefit might include:

  • company cars
  • health insurance
  • travel and entertainment expenses

For a comprehensive list of expenses and benefits – as well as details of what is exempt and what to report and pay – visit the A to Z of Expenses and Benefits.

If the organisation has provided relevant expenses or benefits to employees or directors and if these have not been processed through the payroll for the tax year the company will need to do the following:

  • Submit P11D forms online to HMRC by the 6th July following the end of the tax year
  • Give employees a copy of the form’s information by the 6th July
  • Tell HMRC the total amount of Class 1A National Insurance owed via the P11D(b) form by the 6th July
  • Pay any Class 1A National Insurance owed on expenses or benefits. This must reach HMRC by 22 July (19 July if you pay by cheque)
  • If they have a PAYE Settlement Agreement pay tax and Class 1B National Insurance this must reach HMRC by 22 October (19 October if you pay by cheque)
  • Pay any PAYE tax or Class 1 National Insurance owed on expenses or benefits. This is paid monthly through payroll
