Mandatory Payments and Benefits Course

3.5 CPD Hours

Half Day

Prepare for one of the most important upcoming changes in UK payroll: the mandatory payrolling of benefits. From April 2027, most employee benefits in kind (BiKs) will need to be reported and taxed through payroll in real time, replacing the traditional P11D process. This transformation will significantly affect how UK employers and payroll teams manage benefits and compliance.

The Mandatory Payments and Benefits course gives payroll, HR, and reward professionals the knowledge, tools, and practical guidance needed to confidently transition to the new system. You’ll also get access to our exclusive Mandatory Payments and Benefits Portal with regularly updated HMRC guidance and insights to help you stay compliant throughout the tax year.
