- Tax and National Insurance deductions made from employees and subcontractors
- Total payments of tax credits made to certain employees
- Student Loan deductions made from employees who are Student Loan borrowers
There are different types of returns and some employers may submit more than one return of the same or different type in any tax year. This section provides information and guidance when a return or return part require further action.
Advisory messages
Some returns are received and processed successfully however if further action is required in the Processing Office these will be notified by work items on the appropriate work lists.
