HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) recognises that some small employers who pay employees weekly, fortnightly or more frequently, but only process their payroll monthly may need longer to adapt to reporting PAYE information in real time. HMRC had therefore originally agreed a temporary relaxation of reporting arrangements for small businesses, for a transitional period until April 2014.

This relaxation had meant that employers with fewer than fifty employees could send information to HMRC by the end of the tax month in which the payments were made.

However, HMRC recently announced that existing employers with nine or fewer employees, who need more time to adapt, can report PAYE information on or before the last payday in the month until April 2016. 

The change is narrower than the current relaxation though, as it will only apply to existing employers with nine or fewer employees. All new employers, as well as existing employers with 10 or more employees, will need to report PAYE information in real time from 6 April 2014.
