Payroll tips for preparing for start of tax year

The CIPP policy team keeps on top of all the legislative and policy implementation you need to be aware of. Here are our top things to look out for this tax year end.

New tax year

In operational payroll, I loved a checklist and got more satisfaction than I should have by ticking a box to show a task had been done. But by creating a checklist for something as important as the new tax year process, it means that once it’s created, you can use it year in, year out.

It may be that your chosen software provider provides a checklist or a workflow process for you to work through, but if not, create one this year, and once it’s done, you can reuse it every year.
