HMRC to issue penalties for late submission of PAYE returns
calculator
From October 6, in-year penalties will be charged for failure to file Pay As You Earn (PAYE) submissions on time.
In-year charges will come into effect from October

HM Revenue & Customs have warned employers that, from October 6, in-year penalties will be charged for failure to file Pay As You Earn (PAYE) submissions on time.

HMRC have advised businesses and organisations that all submissions due for all PAYE schemes must be fully up-to-date by October 5 or you may face a penalty.

These could be between £100 and £400 per failure to file, depending on the number of people you employ. Late filing over three months or more may result in an increase in the penalty.

Penalties will be applied where a Full Payment Submission (FPS) has not been filed on or before the date you paid your employees where you have not told HMRC why the submission is legitimately late by using the late reporting reason field, or where HMRC have not received the expected number of submissions from you. The rules will apply to each PAYE scheme, rather than each employer.

HMRC is also urging employers to act immediately if you are still receiving Generic Notification Service (GNS) messages alerting you either that you have sent in late submissions or you haven't sent the number HMRC were expecting.

Until now messages have been sent via the GNS system to help employers avoid penalties in the future but from October if you receive a non-filing or late filing notification it will mean you appear to have sent a submission late or not at all and you may have to pay a penalty.

Penalty notices will include information on how to appeal if you think it is incorrect or had a reasonable excuse for the failure.

The normal deadline for sending payroll information is on or before the day you pay your employees. More information is available at www.hmrc.gov.uk/payerti/index.htm or see www.hmrc.gov.uk/news/paye-late-pen.pdf.

Practices urged to audit neutering data

News Story 1
 RCVS Knowledge has called on vet practices to audit their post-operative neutering outcomes.

It follows the release of the 2024 NASAN benchmarking report, which collates data from neutering procedures performed on dogs, cats and rabbits.

The benchmarking report enables practices in the UK and Ireland to compare their post-operative outcomes to the national average. This includes the rate of patients lost to follow-up, which in 2024 increased to 23 per cent.

Anyone from the practice can submit the data using a free template. The deadline for next report is February 2026.

Visit the RCVS Knowledge website to complete an audit.

UK's BSE risk status downgraded

The WOAH has downgraded the UK's international risk status for BSE to 'negligible'.

Defra says that the UK's improved risk status recognises the reputation for having the highest standards for biosecurity. It adds that it demonstrates decades of rigorous animal control.

Outbreaks of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, also known as mad cow disease, have previously resulted in bans on Britain's beef exports.

The UK's new status could lead to expanded trade and better confidence in British beef.

Christine Middlemiss, the UK's chief veterinary officer, said: "WOAH's recognition of the UK as negligible risk for BSE is a significant milestone and is a testament to the UK's strong biosecurity measures and the hard work and vigilance of farmers and livestock keepers across the country who have all played their part in managing the spread of this disease.
