Paye Compliance -Admission Of Guilt

During a PAYE compliance investigation, the starting point is that under declarations are open to a 100% penalty, but discounts are available.

The typical investigation attracts penalties of between five and 15% of the under declared tax. Discounts are given for:

  1. Disclosure -up to 30%
  2. Co-operation -up to 40% (an early payment on account is often helpful)
  3. Size and gravity -up to 40% (larger errors in the context of the business.)

Payments on account. However if you are ever in this situation, by all means make payments to get the co-operation discount, but don't pay too early, this can be seen by the Taxman as an admission of guilt!
