🚗 Benefits in Kind: what’s changing from April 2027?

If you provide employees with benefits such as company cars or private medical insurance, there are some important changes coming that you’ll need to prepare for.

From 6 April 2027, certain Benefits in Kind will need to be reported through payroll in real time, rather than being reported on a P11D after the end of the tax year. 📅

The changes will initially cover:

🚘 Company cars and car fuel
🚐 Vans and van fuel
🏥 Private medical benefits

The way employees pay tax on these benefits will also change, so it’s important to make sure both your payroll processes and employee communications are ready.

Although April 2027 may seem a while away, starting your preparations now could make the transition much smoother. 📝

Swipe through for a simple breakdown of what’s changing and what employers should be doing now. 👉

If you have questions about how mandatory payrolling could affect your business, get in touch with the HJS team.

🚗 Mileage allowance rates have changed for 2026–27

HMRC has updated the Approved Mileage Allowance Payments (MAPs), with the new rates applying retrospectively from 6 April 2026.

Here’s what businesses need to know:

📍 55p per mile for the first 10,000 business miles
📍 25p per mile after 10,000 miles
📅 The changes apply from 6 April 2026

If you reimburse employees for business mileage, it may be worth checking whether your current rates need updating.

💷 Already paid mileage at rates above the old thresholds? You may have deducted Income Tax and/or Class 1 National Insurance that is no longer due. Previous payrolls can be corrected so that overpaid tax and National Insurance contributions can be refunded.

If you’re unsure what the changes mean for your business or need help correcting previous payroll, get in touch with us - we’d be happy to help.

🏨 Tourist levy: what could it mean for visitors and accommodation providers?

The government has confirmed plans to introduce an overnight visitor levy in England, giving mayors and strategic authorities the power to charge a percentage-based levy on short-term accommodation. 🌍

Here’s what we know so far:
📌 The levy would apply to both UK and overseas visitors.
💷 It would be based on a percentage of the visitor’s total accommodation spend, rather than a flat fee.
🏡 It could apply to hotels, holiday lets and other short-term accommodation, with some local exemptions possible.
🏛️ Local authorities will decide whether to introduce the levy and how the revenue is spent.
📝 Accommodation providers will be responsible for the levy through a self-assessment process, although they can choose whether to pass the cost on to customers.

The government plans to introduce legislation in due course, with local consultation and advance notice required before a levy is introduced.

Swipe through for a quick breakdown of what this could mean for businesses and visitors. 👉
