EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

The Regulations, which come into force on 6th April 2021, amend the Income Tax (Pay As You Earn) Regulations 2003 (S.I. 2003/2682) (“the PAYE Regulations”).

Regulation 3 amends regulation 67E of the PAYE Regulations in relation to the information an employer must include when making a return to correct an inaccuracy in an earlier return made under those Regulations.

Regulation 4 makes a consequential amendment to regulation 67H of the PAYE Regulations to address how any shortfall of tax arising as a result of the inaccuracy in the earlier return is to be dealt with.

A Tax Information and Impact Note has not been prepared for this instrument as it contains no substantive changes to tax policy.
