Amending a P11D and/or a P11D(b)

Modified on Tue, 13 Aug at 2:31 PM

Background

As you are likely aware, HMRC announced that they will no longer accepts printed forms P11D and P11D(b) as from 06/04/2023, and this INCLUDES amendments.

Any amendments can ONLY be completed via the GOV.UK website, there is no option for software amend P11Ds electronically (HMRC have not provided any mechanism for 3rd parties to submit amendments electronically so far - we are hopeful for next year...). This is true even for amendments to past years' returns. You would need to follow the links below to correct any errors.

Amending a P11D for an Employee

As was the case previously, you must include all the benefits and expenses for the tax year - not just the ones you want to change.

HMRC Example: You submitted a P11D showing a medical benefit of £300 and a car benefit of £2,100. The car benefit is correct but the medical benefit should be £500. Submit a P11D showing both the medical benefit of £500 and the car benefit of £2,100.

Below is a screenshot from the GOV.UK site, and shows the information that is needed for a P11D amendment - this will include:

  • Tax year
  • Employer PAYE reference
  • Business name
  • Employee name
  • Director status
  • National Insurance number
  • All existing and modified benefits


Amending a P11D(b) for an Employer

If you’re submitting an online P11D(b), include the total amount of Class 1A National Insurance you need to pay - not the difference from your previous version.

HMRC Example: You submitted a P11D(b) online showing you needed to pay £10,000 of Class 1A National Insurance and you realise you forgot to add £500, your online P11D(b) should show the amount as £10,500.

You will need the following information:

  • Tax year
  • Business name
  • Business address
  • Employer PAYE reference
