P11D Returns: July Tax-Related Deadlines 

P11D returns are just one of the tax deadlines that occur annually in July, when businesses are required to notify HMRC of a range of transactions and activities, with most falling on 6 July. With time required to prepare these, anyone required to submit information to HMRC in relation to these deadlines should take action now, or speak to a tax advisor as soon as possible. These deadlines include the following:

• 6 July – P11D returns are due.
• 6 July – The final day to agree PAYE settlement agreements for the previous tax year.
• 6 July – All companies need notify HMRC of a wide range of share and securities transactions.
• 22 July – Any class 1a National Insurance owed on expenses or benefits must reach HMRC (19th July if paid by cheque).

When is the P11D returns deadline? 

All employers who provide taxable benefits to their directors & employees need to submit an end-of-year report of those benefits to HMRC. 

An employer is required to prepare a form P11D for each employee in receipt of a taxable benefit and a form P11D(b) to declare the Class 1A NIC due on the total of all benefits supplied to all employees. The deadline to submit these forms to HMRC is 6 July, following the end of the tax year.

If businesses have not yet prepared these, they should act now as failure to file on time can result in late submission penalties.

Any class 1A National Insurance owed on expenses or benefits, calculated from the filing of a P11D must reach HMRC by 22nd July (19th July if paid by cheque).

Further information on P11D can be found here.

Share and securities transactions

All companies need to notify HMRC of a wide range of share and securities transactions each year by 6 July. 

This includes debentures, loan stock and shares held by an employer (or a person connected to them).

Anyone that has not taken the required steps to adhere to this deadline should do so now. (To help ensure that late penalties are not incurred). 

Common events that you should notify HMRC of include:

• Assignment or release of (taxable) securities options 
• A change in the rights of shares held by employees
• Rights issues or bonuses issued to employees 
• Sales of ‘restricted’ shares and securities
• The issue or transfer of shares and securities
• The grant or exercise of a share option or other rights to acquire shares

When an EMI option arrangement is in place during this period, the equivalent notification must then be made online.
