Monitoring schemes for vulnerable persons
The Income Tax (Monitoring Schemes Relating to Vulnerable Persons) Order, SI 2013/1133, introduces an exemption from income tax, with effect from 10 June 2013, for any benefit arising on an employee where the employer pays or reimburses fees for the new disclosure and barring scheme update service.

HMRC has issued Employment-Related Shares & Securities Bulletin No 8, which includes an early outline of plans for self-certification of employee share schemes and online filing for all share scheme forms, expected to start from April 2014.
PAYE: NI numbers without suffixes
In response to some NI number verification requests and full payment submissions with missing or incorrect NI numbers, HMRC has issued a number of NI numbers without the final letter of the number. HMRC has advised what actions employers can take in these circumstances.
