HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has written to employers this week with a reminder about the late penalties for missing the 19 May deadline for their 2011-12 employer annual returns.
Employers that missed the deadline will receive an increased penalty if they do not act by 19 June.

Penalties are charged at a rate of £100 per 50 employees for each month, or part month, that a return is late.
