| HMRC increasingly want to deal with taxpayers over the internet - then they can cut costs by replacing people with machines. Looking for positives, filing returns electronically can save time and increase certainty - as long as HMRC's computer is working and not overloaded by the demand on 31 January (the system crashed one year), the envelope can't get lost in the post and you know it's arrived. Firms with 50 or more employees now have to e-file in-year PAYE forms, and nearly all will have to do so for their 2009/10 annual returns. Most VAT returns will go the same way from April 2010. Corporation tax e-returns are coming in 2011. If you aren't sure how you will comply with these new rules, we can advise you. |
