HMRC to Require Real-Time Reporting of Benefits in Kind and Expenses from April 2027

HMRC has confirmed that mandatory payrolling arrangements will change from April 2027, requiring employers to report benefits in kind and expenses through real-time information systems rather than through traditional year-end reporting. This legislative change affects all employers who currently provide taxable benefits or pay expenses to employees. The shift to real-time reporting means compliance obligations will align with existing PAYE processes, streamlining data submission and reducing administrative burden for payroll teams.
