Advice on HMRC RTI 201 letters
money
Some RTI letters sent to employers in early August contained incorrect information about overpayments.

HMRC advises some RTI 201 letters were sent in error during early August

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) are advising employers to ignore any RTI 201 letters that they may have received in August after admitting some were sent in error early in the month.

Some of the real time information (RTI) system letters contained incorrect information about over payments and HMRC have said that some were sent to employers and agents in error.

Any employer or agent who received one of these letters in August 2014 is advised to ignore it. If you want to check your tax position, you can do this on the Business Tax Dashboard, accessed via HMRC's online service at www.hmrc.gov.uk.

HMRC have apologised for any inconvenience caused.

VMD issues guidance on AVM-GSL packaging

The Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) has shared advice on its requirements for medicines considered AVM-GSL.

The guidance explains the information that should be on the outer package, and sets out the typical maximum pack size for an AVM-GSL product. It also describes the user-friendly language, structure and phrases required on packaging and product leaflets.

AVM-GSL products do not require discussion between the purchaser and a veterinary professional. This means that clear product information is needed to support sales choices.

The information will be useful for submitting new products to the AVM-GSL category and lowering the distribution category of products from NFA-VPS to AVM-GSL.

The VMD's guidance can be accessed here.
