HMRC Employer Bulletin June 2026: Critical Updates for UK Payroll Compliance

Stay compliant with the June 2026 HMRC Employer Bulletin. Learn about key PAYE deadlines, P11D reporting, and new low-earner pension payments for employers.


Latest HMRC Guidance for Employers

The June 2026 Employer Bulletin from HMRC serves as a vital reminder for business owners to review their current payroll processes. With several key deadlines approaching, staying informed is the most effective way to prevent penalties and ensure your staff are paid accurately.


Important Deadlines and PAYE Changes

A primary focus of this update is the upcoming deadline for PAYE Settlement Agreements (PSA). Employers must note that HMRC no longer accepts PSA correspondence via email. All applications or amendments must be submitted online or by post by 5 July 2026. Furthermore, for those handling expenses and benefits, the deadline for submitting P11D and P11D(b) forms is 6 July 2026. Ensuring these filings are accurate is essential, particularly as HMRC continues to move towards more digitalised reporting.


Low Earner Pension Payments

Starting in August 2026, HMRC will begin making direct payments to specific low earners in Net Pay Arrangement pension schemes. These individuals, who earn below the income tax personal allowance of £12,570, missed out on the tax relief typically applied via payroll. While employers do not need to take direct action, being aware of this change is helpful if employees raise questions regarding their pension contributions.
