Submission of Data
After a customer makes an enquiry via 2026 Tax Year End Services, Fourth will provide a P11D upload template file (an Excel spreadsheet). This template is split into sections required for the P11D form, and contains information and guidance to help finalise end-of-year reporting.
In addition to providing a completed upload template file, customers must advise Fourth of any expenses and benefits provided to members of the Director’s or employee’s family or household (if relevant). For separate PAYE companies, Fourth require all information to be on separate P11D upload template files to ensure all data is correct and in line with each relevant company.
Some fields within the template spreadsheet are pre-populated with drop-down values to further simplify its completion.
Data cannot be accepted in any other format and may be rejected if the template has been manipulated.
To support customers, some data has been added to the P11D upload template. This does not include any updates from HMRC that have not yet been updated on their website. Customers are advised to review the Expenses and Benefits for Employers legislation set out by HMRC.
Delivery Method of Your P11D Output
The P11D Upload template contains one mandatory setting on how P11Ds are made available to employees, which is via the Employee Self Service (ESS) platform/Engage app. For customers already using ESS/Engage, P11Ds will show as usual in their employees' documents by 6th July 2026. For customers not using ESS or Engage, Fourth can provide access at no additional charge.
A paper P11D option is no longer available for the Tax Year End Services.
Please be aware that Fourth can only report the P11Ds to HMRC via RTI (Real Time Information).
Important Information
If customers are unable to adhere to the deadlines as detailed above, Fourth cannot guarantee the production of P11D output in time to meet the HMRC deadline of 6th July 2026. Fourth are also unable to accept responsibility for failure to make payment, any errors or omissions reported to HMRC as a result of the quality of P11D information received. A late data charge (by Fourth) of £300.00 may apply for any information received after the agreed deadline above, or additional changes/information received after the draft version of the P11Ds has already been sent for review.
HMRC may apply further charges if any Class 1A payments do not meet their deadlines.
Invoices from Fourth will be raised after the first drafts have been sent back to customers by Fourth, based on the total number of current & former employees.
