What is on this site
One question, "payroll dates 2027", answered with a calculator that works on the page with no account, 3 guides on the questions around it, a data table you can cite (the figures and their method), and the sources every figure rests on.
- When to pay PAYE to HMRC: the 22nd, the 19th and the tax month: PAYE is due by the 22nd of the next tax month, or the 19th by post. Why the tax month running 6th to 5th moves the date, with worked 2026/27 examples.
- FPS and EPS deadlines, late filing penalties and the 3-day rule: The FPS goes on or before payday, the EPS by the 19th of the following tax month. When a late FPS is allowed, and what HMRC charges when it is not.
- Payroll year end deadlines: final FPS, P60, P11D and week 53: The 2026/27 payroll year ends 5 April 2027. Final FPS on or before the last payday, P60 by 31 May, P11D by 6 July, Class 1A by 22 July, plus how week 53 works.
