Ready for compulsory in-year e-filing?

If you're in finance, HR or payroll, you'll know that the tax year end on 5 April is the kick-off date for a long period of year-end tax reporting. This means you need to report all manner of items, from tax deductions, expenses and benefits to grants and more. Soon all these returns will have to be filed electronically if you employ more than fifty people.

So are you ready for e-filing? We are.

Ceridian has been filing year-end tax returns electronically for some time, helping our clients meet their compulsory end-of-year electronic filing requirements, along with the submission of the P35 Employer Declaration.

What can you expect this year?

• If your organisation has 50 or more employees, HMRC will communicate changes to you as an employer with regard to compulsory in-year e-filing of P45 & P46 from April 2009.
• Since February 2007, HMRC has been asking companies to ensure that their payroll software and service is ready for this new legal obligation.

Helping you file your annual returns online

Ceridian has offered in-year e-filing facilities to its clients since 2001, filing in excess of two million electronic P14's for over 7,500 employers of various sizes. Currently we help over 2,500 employers to file electronically, and that number is growing fast.

The Ceridian Electronic Exchange service not only meets compulsory requirements for the electronic filing of P45 and P46 for starters and leavers, but also enables the automated update of tax codes P6, P6B, P9, and student loan messages. In addition, our service offers equivalent PENNOT capabilities (P46, P160 etc).

Safe and secure electronic filing

The Ceridian Electronic Exchange service uses a secure GFF EDI solution which has a Direct Dial ISDN2 facility between the Ceridian payroll engine and HMRC's online services. This means we avoid internet transactions, guaranteeing your privacy and the safety and security of your company information.

As the largest EDI private trading partner with HMRC, we are also accredited under the HMRC Electronic Exchange recognition scheme.

Ceridian's versatile service allows you to use various means to meet your compulsory in-year filing obligations - including the use of the HMRC internet service. We also offer electronic filing of P14’s as a standard part of our payroll solution.
