HMRC Employer Bulletin: February 2019
08 February 2019
The latest Employer Bulletin is now available; a bi-monthly publication which provides employers and agents with the latest information on payroll topics.
This newsletter from HMRC is always worth reading thoroughly as it is easy to miss something which may affect a new process or legislative change.
More Frequent Data Sharing (MFDS)
Amongst many other things, the bulletin highlights that from April 2019, HMRC will send the student loan repayment information you report on your Full Payment Submission to the Student Loans Company (SLC) more frequently throughout the year. This is known as More Frequent Data Sharing (MFDS). This means that your employee’s student loan balance will regularly be updated. There is no action for you to take, however, some employees may ask you to check and confirm the information you have sent to HMRC.
