HMRC is to continue supplying agent copies of the tax calculation P800, and forms SA250 and SA251, for the time being. But agent copies of the  PAYE coding notice P2 are being withdrawn from this month.

HMRC is to continue supplying agent copies of the tax calculation P800, and forms SA250 and SA251, for the time being. But agent copies of the  PAYE coding notice P2 are being withdrawn from this month.

HMRC said it will ‘look to reinvest some of the savings made from withdrawing agent copies of P2s towards a solution which will allow agents to view P2s for their Self Assessment clients online'. HMRC hopes that the facility will be available in October 2011.

‘We are very disappointed that, despite our best efforts, HMRC has decided to withdraw the agent copy of form P2 with immediate effect. We think that it should have been retained until the P2s are available to be viewed online,’ said the ICAEW Tax Faculty.
