What is online filing?

Online filing was introduced by the Government in 2002, as a means of sending Employers' Annual Returns (P14s and P35) electronically, eliminating the need for paper returns.

All employers, must send a number of your in-year PAYE forms online to HMRC; P45 (Part1), P45 (Part3), P46, P46 (Pen), P46 (Expat).

What are the benefits of online filing?

Sending or receiving information online has a number of advantages:

  • Secure and convenient
  • Quick and easy
  • Saves time and money
  • Encourages a paperless office
  • Reduces administration
  • Reduces mistakes and misinterpretation

How do I file online?

You can choose how to do your online filing. The options are:

  • Use payroll software capable of filing your return electronically via the secure HMRC PAYE Online for Employers' Internet Service
  • Use an intermediary, for example, a payroll bureau, who can file online on your behalf

If you want to use your payroll software to fulfil your online filing commitments, you must ensure that it is capable of sending your data electronically and that your data meets HMRC Quality Standard: Pegasus Online Filing Manager meets the Quality Standard expected from employers when filing their Annual Return (P35) and End of Year Summary (P14) over the Internet for the relevant tax year.

If you use an intermediary, they may be able to fulfil your online filing requirements. However, you will still be responsible for ensuring that your return is filed on time and meets HMRC Quality Standard. If it is rejected, any amendments must be made before attempting to file online again. A successful live submission must be received by the deadline or you will face possible HMRC penalties.
