E-cash for payroll filing online
Eventually the taxman will make you file your payroll returns (P35, P14 and P60) electronically. However, he is offering you cash to make you start earlier.

Businesses with fewer than 50 staff have until the 2009/10 tax year to file electronically. However, to encourage smaller businesses to start earlier, there is a sliding scale of payments for each year that you voluntarily file electronically, starting at £250 for filing in 2004/5. The cash incentives add up to £825.

However, before filing electronically, you need to check that your existing software can produce files in the right format to send via the internet. More information can be found at the Inland Revenue website.
