Qualify for 'On or Before' rule relaxation
The 'On or Before' rule relaxation allows a qualifying employer to send a single FPS in a tax month even if they pay their employees more frequently, as long as the submission is sent by the date of the last payment in the month.
It's only applicable to micro employers, with 9 or fewer employees on 6 April 2014. To check if you qualify, contact HMRC.
If you qualify and select this check box, when you make your consolidated FPS for the tax month, you won't be required to specify a reason why your submission is late, as the submissions module automatically notifies HMRC that you're taking advantage of the rule relaxation. However, if you make your submission after your final payment date, this is classed as late, and you'll need to specify why.
Clear
P46 (Car) flag on submission
If you have employees who receive car benefits,
their P46 (Car) details will be recorded in their Employee Record. You
can use the IR Secure Mailbox to submit this information to HMRC. Once
submitted, use this check box to clear the P46 (Car) Required check box
in their record so that you're not prompted to produce this information
again.
