- 31 May: give every employee on the payroll at 5 April their P60
- 5 July: deadline to agree a PAYE Settlement Agreement with HMRC
- 6 July: P11D and P11D(b) forms due for benefits in kind
- 22 July: Class 1A National Insurance on benefits due (if paid electronically)
Checks to make now
- Employee names, addresses, National Insurance numbers and tax codes
- Pension auto-enrolment assessments and contributions
- Benefits in kind, such as company cars and medical insurance
- Starters and leavers recorded correctly
