Mandatory Payments and Benefits

In January 2024, the government confirmed its commitment to implementing mandatory payrolling of benefits, transitioning to a fully real-time PAYE process. Reaffirmed in the Autumn Budget, this mandate will roll out in April 2026 with a phased introduction for specific benefits. This marks one of the most significant shifts since the introduction of Real Time Information (RTI), profoundly affecting professionals managing benefits, P11Ds, and reward processes.

If you work in Payroll, HR, or Reward, understanding and preparing for these changes is essential.

Our solution is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills to efficiently process and manage benefits within your payroll systems. After attending the course, participants will gain access to our exclusive online portal, featuring up-to-date guidance from HMRC and the latest insights into payrolling benefits.

Prepare now to ensure your organisation is compliant and ready for these transformative changes.
