Toolkits to help reduce errors
On the “What’s New” part of their website, HMRC have announced that they have “produced a video to help you use the toolkits (running time 14 minutes)” Unfortunately, they have not made it clear that this is a re-release of an old video and it covers amongst other things:
- how to deal with tips collected
- students on the payroll and P38S procedures
- staff functions under £150.00 but taxis home paid after staff party should be included
- staff gifts
It is sad that it includes a procedure that was made redundant with the introduction of RTI. True, there is a typewritten disclaimer at the start of the video which says that the tax treatment of P38s’ will change with the introduction of RTI, however, far from providing information that helps to reduce errors, the replication of out-of-date information could actually create confusion.
