Starting April 2026, the UK government is making payrolling benefits mandatory, replacing the traditional P11D reporting for most taxable benefits. This major change will require employers to process taxable benefits through payroll in real-time, ensuring that tax is deducted at the point of payment rather than being adjusted at year-end.

Whether you're managing payroll in-house or on behalf of clients, this course will provide you with step-by-step guidance, practical tools, and expert insights to navigate this transition smoothly.
