Mandating the Payrolling of Benefits in Kind Delayed Until 06 April 2027

30 - 04 - 2025

Mandating the payrolling of expenses and benefits-in-kind has been delayed to 6th April 2027. 



HMRC has announced additional time to prepare for the reporting of Income Tax and Class 1A NICs for most benefits in kind and taxable expenses. Originally due to be mandatory from 6 April‌‌‌ 2026, HMRC’s latest technical note confirms that the changes will take place from 06 April 2027.

Payrolling Benefits in Kind enables the reporting of most employee benefits through Real Time Information (RTI). The value of a benefit is added to the employee’s salary so that the correct amount of PAYE is automatically deducted during the tax year. The new system would eliminate the need to produce and file P11D forms for employees after the payroll year end.

 

Since April 2016 it has been possible for employers to use the system on a voluntary basis.

 
The delay is intended to provide more time for employers, software providers and agents to prepare. HMRC’s technical note provides more information on how employers can adapt to these changes in time for 6‌‌‌ April 2027.
