HMRC appears on YouTube!

We have launched a new a new online video on YouTube to help employers reduce the problems caused by inaccurate employee data.

It looks at how inaccurate employer returns can affect employees, employers and HMRC, and offers basic advice on how employers can help reduce errors.

We receive millions of employer returns each year (for example P35s, P14s, P45s and P46s). While the vast majority of the employee data is correct, in some cases dummy, incomplete or incorrect information is included, making it more difficult for us to identify the individuals involved – our Press Release Taxman urges employers to ditch ‘A N Other’ of 17 October 2011 gives examples.
