Employers: Are You Ready for a New Tax Year?

Talk to an expert

The end of the 2025/26 tax year will soon be here, which means a few additional tasks to carry out on your payroll, if you run one.


If you run a payroll, you will need to report information on the tax year that is ending to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). The tax year ends on 5 April 2026.


You will also need to prepare for the new tax year, which starts on 6 April. HMRC provide the following handy list of tasks that need to be carried out and when.


  • Send your final payroll report of the year on or before your employee’s payday.
  • Update employee payroll records and payroll software from 6 April.
  • Give your employees a P60 by 31 May.
  • Report employee expenses and benefits by 6 July.

If you would like help with any of these tasks, please do get in touch. We would be happy to help you!
