Employer e-mail alerts – a reminder
Paper mailings are decreasing and the annual packs information is now held on HMRC's website at www.hmrc.gov.uk/paye/forms-publications/employer-pack.htm. Please remember this free facility to register to receive an email alert at www.hmrc.gov.uk/paye/forms-publications/register.htm. HMRC will broadcast the alerts three times a year when the web pages are updated. Of the 1.3 million employers that HMRC used to write to, over 470,000 employers have now registered for the alerts.
