PAYE Settlement Agreement: 3 Checks Employers Should Complete Before Payment
With the October deadlines fast approaching, now is the time to review your 2025/26 PAYE Settlement Agreement (PSA) liabilities. Leaving this until the last minute could result in avoidable payment delays and potential interest.
Here are three essential checks to complete now:
✅ 1. Verify Your PSA Liabilities
Review the benefits and expenses included in your agreement, ensuring eligible items are correctly valued and accounted for.
✅ 2. Check Class 1B National Insurance
Ensure your tax and Class 1B NIC calculations are accurate before payment.
✅ 3. Confirm Your Payment Deadline
📅 19 October 2026: Postal payments must reach HMRC’s Accounts Office.
📅 22 October 2026: Electronic payments must clear HMRC’s bank account.
Don't leave compliance until the deadline. Review your liabilities and arrange payment in good time.
