Details

This measure confirms that from no earlier than tax year 2025 to 2026, employers will be required to provide more detailed information on employee hours worked using Real Time Information PAYE reporting.

Secondly, shareholders who are company-owner managers in owner-managed businesses will need to use their Self Assessment tax return to provide both:

• the amount of dividend income received from their own companies separately to other dividend income
• the percentage share they hold in their own companies

Finally, customers who are self-employed will need to provide information on the start and end dates of their self-employment using their Self Assessment tax return.

The change will improve the quality of data collected by HMRC and help to:

• provide better outcomes for taxpayers and businesses
• improve compliance
• build a more resilient tax system
