Background

The Insolvency Claims Handling Unit (ICHU) bases its claims on employer annual returns - forms P35 and P14.

Normal returns

When the ICHU are able to obtain forms P35 and P14 that include a name, NINO or date of birth and gender from the employer or contractor, these will be processed in the normal way. The returns will be identified by ‘Insolvency’ written in green ink at the top of the P35.

The annual return for

  • Previous year(s), will be forwarded to employer units
  • Current year, will be forwarded to the Debt Management Office

These insolvency returns will be processed in accordance with 'Insolvency cases (Action Guide)' at PAYE41036.
