HMRC has updated its guidance What happens if you don't report payroll information on time to show that the Full Payment Submission (FPS) three day easement has been extended to 5 April 2018.

However, HMRC won’t charge a penalty if:

the FPS is late but all reported payments on the FPS are within three days of employees’ payday (this applies from 6 March 2015 to 5 April 2018). However, employers that persistently file after the payment date but within three days may be contacted or considered for a penalty they’re a new employer and the first FPS was sent within 30 days of paying an employee it’s the first failure in the tax year to send a report on time (this doesn’t apply to employers that register with HMRC as an annual scheme).

"I have used The Learn Centre on a number of occasions and have found it provides a great platform to gain the knowledge required to carry out my job. I started off with the Payroll Technician course and this in-depth learning gave me a great foundation of payroll knowledge to build upon and give me the confidence to progress up the career ladder, well worth it and would certainly recommend, no matter what level you are at there will be a course/qualification that can help you."
