P11D Checklist P11D Checklist 2024 P11D Checklist 2024 THIS IS A GENERAL CHECKLIST ONLY. ESTIMATED TIME TO COMPLETE: 5 MINUTES BACKGROUND About This Checklist This is a GENERAL CHECKLIST ONLY. It DOES NOT ask for figures or specifics. It is intended as BACKGROUND information only as things can change from year to year. We will obtain any details separately, i.e. if you have not already provided them, or we will find them in accounting software (e.g. Quickbooks). Please answer each question as best and you can and if you are unsure about any of your answers either, a) give us a call or b) make a note of your query or comment in the "additional information" section towards the end of this checklist. ABOUT P11D FORMS P11D forms are an employer form that HMRC REQUIRES an employer to submit annually IF: a) they provide any employee or director with "BENEFITS in kind", e.g. company car, van with private use, health insurance etc.. AND/OR, b) they pay or re-imburse costs or EXPENSES on behalf of an employee that are NOT incurred "wholly, exclusively AND necessarily" in the performance of the employees duties of that employment, e.g. holidays, private school fees, commuting to work costs. c) OR, if HMRC request a P11D form or P11D(b) form, so they can review the answers given. HMRCs deadline for submission of form P11D is 6 July following the end of each tax year (6 April to 5 April). HMRC can raise substantial FINES, and INTEREST, for any late paid tax/NIC, LATE declarations, or INCORRECT submissions to HMRC. The later the submission, the greater the fine. £100 per 50 employees, per month late. So a 12 month late P11D will incur a fine of £1200 (12 x £100). Incorrect P11Ds incur fines of up to £3,000 for each incorrect P11D. For example, a P11D that does not include a van that the employee is allowed to use for any private use.

Are you aware that providing "benefits in kind" increases the risk of more detailed HMRC enquiries, incorrect P11Ds, HMRC fines etc?? * Yes, I am aware No, I had not considered that point Are you aware that providing "benefits in kind" will increase bookkeeping time and costs of tracking and reporting those items? * Yes, I am aware No, I had not considered that point Are you aware that employee "expenses" paid for my the employer increases the risk of more detailed HMRC enquiries? * Yes, I am aware No, I had not considered that point Are you aware that when an employer provides (or changes) a car to an employee that must be reported to HMRC within 28 days? * Yes, I am aware, and will inform T4 payroll services each time this applies No, I did not know that, but will ensure I inform HMRC (or T4 Payroll Services) in future. HMRC must be notified using form P46(car) if there's a change that affects car benefits (that has not been taxed via payroll/payslips) for an employee or a director for whom a car is made available for private use. P46(car) must be submitted to HMRC within 28 days of the end of the quarter (5 July, 5 October, 5 January or 5 April) in which the change takes place.

This means you should be declaring that on forms P11D for each employee that has a van they can use for private journeys. Failure to file a P11D for this benefit in kind and pay the Class 1A Employers NIC will lead to a fine by HMRC. The van "benefit" is also then taxable on the employee who will owe personal tax on the van benefit. See the following link for HMRC guidance on what they view as "private use". https://www.gov.uk/expenses-and-benefits-company-vans (Link opens a new tab) "Business journeys and commuting" A business journey is defined as a trip: made as part of work (such as a service engineer travelling between appointments) to a temporary workplace Vans used for ‘insignificant’ private journeys are exempt, for example making a slight detour to pick up a newspaper on the way to work. Does the company own any company cars? * Yes, the company owns a CAR or cars. No, the company does not own a car(s).

HMRC Guidance on Mileage Allowance Claims, rates etc (£0.45 per mile for first 10,000 business miles then £0.25 p/mile) Sometimes referred to as AMAP (Approved Mileage Allowance Payment), or MAP (Mileage Allowance Payment) LINK: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/rates-and-allowances-travel-mileage-and-fuel-allowances/travel-mileage-and-fuel-rates-and-allowances (Opens a New Tab) Approximate annual business miles travelled * Less than 1,000 business milesBetween 1,001 and 2,500 business milesBetween 2,501 and 5,000 business milesBetween 5,001 and 7,500 business milesBetween 7,501 and 10,000 business milesBetween 10,001 and 15,000 business milesOver 15,000 business miles This is just to give us an indication of your level of use of your own car for business journeys it is not an actual calculation for Mileage Allowance claims from the company using HMRC approved mileage rates.

No, the company does not own any mobile phones or sim cards No, the business does not own any mobile phones but does re-imburse the employee for business specific calls only No, the business does not own any mobile phones but does re-imburse the employee for their mobile phone Where the mobile contract is between employer and supplier, there is no taxable benefit in kind. However, if the employer re-imburses or pays any part of a mobile phone contract between the employee and the supplier, that will be a benefit in kind, reportable on form P11D. Does the Company have a written agreement with employees (including directors) that there is to be NO private use of ANY company assets? * No, there is no such written agreement about private use Yes, the company has a written agreement that no private use is allowed, AND it could be demonstrated to HMRC that all employees are aware and have agreed to this IF HMRC suggested that there is, or maybe, private use of any company asset, this could create a tax liability on that asset. This could affect both the employer and the employee or director. Hence, it is important to ensure that where no private use of assets is allowed, that this is documented. Would you like T4 to help you with a Company Policy (Staff Manual) that states there is to be no private use of company assets? * Yes, we need help with this from T4, give me a quote No, we will ensure an agreement is put in place ourselves T4 use "Bright Contracts" for employee agreements, Employee Contracts, Office (Staff) Manuals, and Employee Privacy Policy (part Data Protection Rules) documents .
