A quick introduction

What's in this edition?

Welcome to the September – October edition

What updates can you expect in the latest edition of our payroll legislation guide?

There are proposed amendments to legislation in respect of salary advances for both income tax and National Insurance (NI). HMRC has launched a consultation on the draft regulations which would change how advances are reported to HMRC via RTI.

In addition, we’ve summarised guidance from HMRC that helps employers submit the right information to get new starters on the correct pay quicker. This comes after it was reported that more than two million employees were put onto the incorrect tax code last year.

In the tax section of our guide, we relay fresh Government guidance around how to check if your temporary or seasonal employees are eligible for automatic pension enrolment.

Finally, in the Bills & proposals section, you can also find out about secondary legislation the Government has confirmed it will introduce before the end of the year to retain equal pay protections in UK law. These protections would have been removed under legislation that received Royal Assent in June, to revoke numerous European Union (EU) rules.

We hope you find this guide useful!
