Mike,
It's something we are actively looking at. I'm not sure a font size large enough could be specified for the disclaimer we would have to accompany it, though!
Seriously, if you are happy to use a facility that effectively prints the form for you from numbers that you enter (or take responsibility for ensuring the accuracy of yourself), then it would be pretty straightforward.
Now, if you can persuade a sufficient number of your PCG colleagues to come aboard, I will commit to implementing this in good time for the 19th May submission deadline.
What is 'sufficient'? Try me!

Inappropriate?Not at this time though we are looking at the implications of electronic filing across a range of documents. Be aware however we are looking at how transactions that might impact P11D are handled so that customers don't get caught out. -
Inappropriate?A facility to produce the end of year tax forms would be VERY appreciated, since the alternative to using an accountant would be to use FreeAgent in conjunction with end of year tax form production software. -
Inappropriate?The HMRC recently announced that the basic P11 calculator supplied on their 'Employer CD-ROM' will be supplemented by a facility to submit the end-of-year P14s and P35s online directly from the CD-ROM (don't you just love how understandable they like to make it sound!).
This facility will be rolled out in the new CD-ROM issued in Feb 08.
The implication is that if your situation is very simple, you may not need to burden your accountant with this activity. Your accountant would of course strongly recommended that you seek his/her advice on the correctness of your submission, of course ;->
As Dennis implies, It is likely that it will be a while before we fully implement this kind of thing ourselves - we would need to implement a complete payroll calculation engine (very tricky with lots of awkward rules and exceptions for retired Mrs Miggins if she claimed statutory maternity pay for less than 4 weeks back in 1990 except if blah blah).
However if we can do something that covers the most common circumstances, as we've started to do with our super-simple payroll calculator, we will.

Inappropriate?It's all gravy, thanks guys.
My concern is about printing hard paper copies of these forms, rather than online submission. I already make our companies returns online via the Government Gateway website and although direct filing from FreeAgent would be nice, what concerns me is the ability to be able to produce a paper printout/hardcopy P60/P11d/P14 for statutory records. It would also be key to enable more of my fellow PCG members coming over to join FreeAgent.
I’m hopeful

Inappropriate?I'm not concerned about submitting online as much as producing the paper P60. It would be a shame to have to get other software to do this - I'm hoping to make FeeAgent my one-stop shop, currently I'm evaluating three software packages, of which FreeAgent is the newest so you've still got a little bit of time to catch up!
-
Inappropriate?@MikeWilson - do tell us where 'we need to catch up' - we're always keen to know what folk want but as I'm sure you'll appreciate, we can't necessarily implement in 5 minutes. Mind you, the lads do a pretty stunning job most of the time. (I would say that though wouldn't I?) but seriously we want to know.
I'd be interested in learning from you how you think we stack against other offerings. If you want to take that discussion offline then please email me at: dahowlett [at] gmail [dot] com otherwise we can always do this out in the open here.
I’m thankful

Inappropriate?Now is a really good time to bring this conversation actively back to the fora.
I'm looking like everyone else will be right now, to produce the P14/P35 PAYE EOY. As part of this a few fields need to be known, such as the expenses and mileage.
Whilst a full Payroll engine isn't expected, would it be possible to have a report or view on the data to display the fields needed for the P14/P35?
Thanks for an excellent software service.
Mike

Inappropriate?Hi Dennis,
Apologies, my reply comes late; I didn't see your message.
I've used a variety of Payroll software and still have a review of FreeAgent "to do" on my task list. I'll ping you once this is done.
Warm Regards,
Mike -
Inappropriate?Did anything happen about this? I too am wondering if it's possible for the software to generate a P60? Don't care about online filing, like Mike - just the ability to print it out as a paper record would be great!
I’m curious
