Get guidance from HMRC if you're a tax agent or an adviser. We will always promote HMRC's Agent Update (https://t.co/IY8Y6m43iE) and recommend reading "Tax adviser registration now open: check if and when you need to register". Hot topic at the moment

@SkyNews @TrevorPTweets @RobertJenrick So @RobertJenrick confirms this will apply to "workers", a greater cohort than employees. What about the self-employed, freelancers, contractors etc? This has not been thought through at all and already employers will look for loopholes to avoid income tax🤣

Please tell your relatives NOT to fall for this nonsense scam by text. They usually have a url which looks correct in part beginning "gov.uk-[something].xyz" which is, of course, bogus.

https://t.co/duCKMVpeAR there does speak someone who likes to minimise his tax liability

When Nigel told me about this policy, my immediate reaction was this is brilliant for the grafters, the great men & women who do extra hours to make sure they put good food on the table and their kids grow up with a real chance in life. We are on your side. Vote @reformparty_uk in Makerfield & we get this Gov out & get the country working again. 👇🏽

@jcbaldry Can't employers just change everyone to hourly paid at national minimum wage, pay the rest as overtime and give big tax savings? A lot of work changing all contracts but win for employees, not so good for public services. Grabs headlines but silly policy.

[Payroll and Reward Support @PayrollHelpUK]

@EssexPR Big work for employers. Change contracts so all salaries to be paid at 40 hours at National Minimum Wage and the rest paid as overtime. Tax savings for the employee, does it also extend to national insurance like France? Which public services pay for this?

[Payroll and Reward Support @PayrollHelpUK]

Farage: I will scrap income tax on overtime https://t.co/pgP9lDcnSE. So, reduce all salaries to 40 hours at National Minimum Wage, pay the rest as overtime and this will be free of income tax? Change the contract which equals legal tax avoidance

Definitely "Breaking news" and important (https://t.co/lkJtGshwlq). Backdated to the start of this tax year AMAP, MAR and self-employed mileage rate increased from 45p to 55p. Get ready for recalculations

The Institute for Fiscal Studies has found that the UK's higher earners and private sector workers will bear the brunt of the government’s planned tax changes to salary sacrifice pension contributions. #pensions #NIC #privatesector #employees #employers

Thanks @payrollcentre for this "Fair Work Agency: a new enforcement era for payroll" (https://t.co/IYau5yNrBD) and particularly the important points for payroll teams.

No entitlement to SSP because of zero earnings in the relevant period? SSP1 does not allow employers to state this to employees so how do we let them know? Thanks @CIPP_UK for highlighting (https://t.co/F02kCvgJ8W). A "flaw" in the SSP1 @DWPgovuk

[Payroll and Reward Support @PayrollHelpUK]

For small employers, the @CIPP_UK reminds us https://t.co/7lMWJYhqsP that the Small Employers’ Relief compensation rate has increased to 109% in tax year 2026/27. Flag your software!

[Payroll and Reward Support @PayrollHelpUK]

We suggest not fundamental changes but employers will have to give more consideration (and explain) the reasons for refusing a request to work flexibly "Make Work Pay: improving access to flexible working" https://t.co/yy97v9Mv5s

@HMRCgovuk Agent Update for April 2026 published (https://t.co/HN7ox4ZIZF). Please to see it refers to 26/27 rates and thresholds rather than 25/26 like the Employer Bulletin.😀
