Annual payroll reporting chores

tiemadmin • 22 January 2026

There are a number of annual payroll reporting issues that employers are required to complete. With the tax year ending on 5 April 2026, this means there are several key payroll reporting chores that will need to be considered over the coming months.

One of the main requirements is submitting a final PAYE return for the tax year. The final Full Payment Submission (FPS) must be sent to HMRC on or before employees’ final payday in the 2025–26 tax year to ensure payroll records are correctly closed for the year.

Employers must also remember to provide employees with a P60 by 31 May 2026. A P60 must be issued to all employees who are on the payroll on the final day of the tax year, 5 April 2026. The P60 summarises an employee’s total pay and the tax deducted during the year and can be provided either in paper form or electronically.

Employees should be advised to keep their P60s safe, as they are an important record of tax paid and may be needed to reclaim overpaid tax, apply for tax credits, or provide evidence of income when applying for a loan or mortgage. Employees who leave during the tax year will not receive a P60, as the relevant information will already have been provided on their P45.

In addition, employers must report any Class 1A National Insurance contributions and submit P11D and P11D(b) forms to HMRC for the tax year ending 5 April 2026. The deadline for these submissions is 6 July 2026.
