HMRC Announces Phased Mandatory Payrolling of Benefits in Kind from April 2027

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has unveiled plans to implement the mandatory payrolling of benefits in kind in phases, starting from April 2027. This initiative is designed to simplify the tax reporting process for employers and enhance compliance.

What Does This Mean for Employers?

Employers will be required to report and pay tax on benefits in kind through the Real Time Information (RTI) system, eliminating the need for P11D forms. This change aims to reduce administrative burdens and improve accuracy in tax reporting.

Key Details of the Phased Implementation

• April 2027: The first phase will begin, with specific benefits in kind being included in the mandatory payrolling process.

• Subsequent Phases: Additional benefits will be incorporated over the following years, with full implementation expected by April 2029.
