The P9X 2019/20

The P9X 2019/20
25 Feb 2019

The Global Payroll Association knows that one of the most highly anticipated documents that payroll professionals look for is the annual P9X from HMRC which details the tax bands to use for the following tax year.  It also tells us the tax code uplifts that should be applied. 

 

On the 8th of February 2019, the English and Welsh language versions were made available on the gov.uk website along with information such as:

 

  • Don’t carry forward week 1 / month 1 markers
  • Do apply tax code uplifts for 2018/19 that were received too late in 2018/19 and were not applied

 

The Global Payroll Association has made the P9X available as a pdf on the GPAUK website as well as giving a link to the gov.uk website.  It also make the following comments:

 

  • The tax bands are as quoted in the document as all the necessary legislation and budget approvals are in place for rUK, Scottish and Welsh taxpayers
  • The tax code uplifts are correct in the document as follows – L + 65, M + 71 and N + 59
  • We disagree that the Welsh rates are 20, 40, and 45. They are actually 10, 10 and 10 which means that the overall result is 20, 40 and 45.  Maybe we are being a bit picky!
  • Although the P9X says that any new code may be sent via the EDI route, this cannot be right as EDI was decommissioned in 2018!

 

It’s most right though and is important reading for UK payroll professionals.
